佛果圜悟禪師碧巖錄 6.12

6.12

正眼觀來却是百丈具正因。馬大師無風起浪。諸人要與佛祖為師。參取百丈。要自救不了。參取馬祖大師。看他古人二六時中。未甞不在箇裏。百丈丱歲離塵。三學該練。屬大寂闡化南昌。乃傾心依附。二十年為侍者。及至再參。於喝下方始大悟。而今有者道。本無悟處。作箇悟門建立此事。若恁麼見解。如獅子身中蟲。自食獅子肉不見古人道。源不深者流不長。智不大者見不遠。若用作建立會。佛法豈到如今。看他馬大師與百丈行次。見野鴨子飛過。大師豈不知是野鴨子。為什麼却恁麼問。且道他意落在什麼處。百丈只管隨他後走。馬祖遂扭他鼻孔。丈作忍痛聲馬祖云。何曾飛去百丈便省。而今有底錯會。纔問著便作忍痛聲。且喜跳不出。宗師家為人須為教徹。見他不會。不免傷鋒犯手。只要教他明此事。所以道。會則途中受用。不會則世諦流布。馬祖當時若不扭住。只成世諦流布。也須是逢境遇緣。宛轉教歸自己。十二時中。無空缺處。謂之性地明白。若只依草附木。認箇驢前馬後。有何用處。看他馬祖百丈恁麼用。雖似昭昭靈靈。却不住在昭昭靈靈處。百丈作忍痛聲。若恁麼見去。遍界不藏頭頭成現。所以道。一處透千處萬處一時透。馬祖次日陞堂眾纔集。百丈出卷却拜蓆。馬祖便下座。歸方丈次問百丈。我適來上堂。未曾說法。爾為什麼。便卷却蓆丈云。昨日被和尚扭得鼻孔痛。祖云。爾昨日向甚處留心。丈云。今日鼻頭又不痛也。祖云。爾深知今日事。丈乃作禮。却歸侍者寮哭。同事侍者問云。爾哭作什麼。丈云。爾去問取和尚。侍者遂去問馬祖。祖云。爾去問取他看。侍者却歸寮問百丈。丈却呵呵大笑。侍者云。爾適來哭。而今為什麼却笑。丈云。我適來哭。如今却笑。看他悟後。阿轆轆地。羅籠不住。自然玲瓏。雪竇頌云。

Viewed with the true eye, it was actually Baizhang who possessed the correct cause, while Master Ma was stirring up waves where there was no wind. If you people want to be teachers to buddhas and ancestors, investigate Baizhang; if you want to be unable to save yourselves, investigate Master Mazu. Look at how the ancients, throughout the twelve periods of the day, were never not inside this. In his youth Baizhang left worldly dust and thoroughly practiced the three trainings. When Daji (Mazu) expounded the transformation in Nanchang, he inclined his heart to rely on him, serving as his attendant for twenty years. When it came to inquiring a second time, only under a shout did he attain great awakening for the first time. Nowadays there are those who say, "Originally there is no place of awakening; one merely sets up a gate of awakening to establish this matter." Such an understanding is like a worm inside a lion's body, eating the lion's own flesh. Have you not seen the ancients say: "Where the source is not deep, the stream does not flow far; where wisdom is not great, vision does not reach far." If you understand it as an establishment, how could the Buddhadharma have reached down to the present day? / Look at Master Ma and Baizhang walking together, seeing wild ducks fly past. How could the Master not know they were wild ducks? Why then did he ask like that? Tell me, where did his intention fall? Baizhang merely followed after him, so Mazu then twisted his nostrils; Zhang cried out in pain, and Mazu said, "When have they ever flown away?" Baizhang was instantly awakened. / Nowadays there are those who misunderstand: the moment they are asked, they cry out in pain—happily they cannot leap free! A lineage master's dealing with people must carry through completely; seeing that he did not understand, he could not avoid nicking his blade and injuring his hands, simply wanting to make him understand this matter. Therefore it is said: "If you understand, there is application along the way; if you do not understand, it circulates as conventional truth." If Mazu had not twisted him back then, it would merely have become conventional truth circulating. One must also, encountering environments and meeting conditions, deftly bring them home to oneself, so that throughout the twelve periods of the day there is no gap—this is called having the nature-ground clearly illumined. If you merely lean on grass and attach to trees, recognizing things in front of donkeys and behind horses, what use is that? Look at how Mazu and Baizhang functioned in this way: though seemingly brightly alert and spiritually clear, they did not abide in the place of being brightly alert and spiritually clear. Baizhang cried out in pain: if you see it in this way, throughout the entire realm it is unhidden, manifest on every side. Therefore it is said, "When one place penetrates, a thousand places, ten thousand places all penetrate at the same time." / The next day, Mazu ascended the hall; the assembly had just gathered when Baizhang came forward and rolled up the bowing mat. Mazu then descended from his seat. Returning to the Abbot's quarters, he asked Baizhang, "I just went up to the hall and had not yet preached the Dharma; why did you immediately roll up the mat?" Zhang said, "Yesterday my nostrils were twisted by the Reverend until they hurt." Zu said, "Where did you keep your mind yesterday?" Zhang said, "Today my nose does not hurt anymore." Zu said, "You deeply understand today's matter." Zhang then bowed and returned to the attendants' quarters weeping. His fellow attendant asked him, "Why are you weeping?" Zhang said, "You go ask the Reverend." The attendant then went to ask Mazu. Zu said, "You go ask him yourself and see." The attendant returned to the quarters and asked Baizhang. Zhang then broke into a loud laugh. The attendant said, "You were weeping just now; why are you laughing now?" Zhang said, "Just now I was weeping; now I am laughing." Look at how, after his awakening, he turned smoothly and freely—he could not be caught in a cage, being naturally luminous and open. Xuedou's verse says:
