佛果圜悟禪師碧巖錄 7.21

- **Language:** Classical Chinese

### [7.21](https://indike.org/pramana/in.bauddha.taisho.2003.7.21)

【六五】舉。外道問佛。不問有言。不問無言（雖然如是。屋裏人也有些子香氣。雙劍倚空飛。賴是不問）世尊良久（莫謗世尊。其聲如雷。坐者立者皆動他不得）外道讚歎云。世尊大慈大悲。開我迷雲。令我得入（伶俐漢一撥便轉。盤裏明珠）外道去後阿難問佛。外道有何所證。而言得入（不妨令入疑著。也要大家知。錮鐪著生鐵）佛云。如世良馬見鞭影而行（且道喚什麼作鞭影。打一拂子。棒頭有眼明如日。要識真金火裏看。拾得口喫飯）。

> \[65\] The Case: A non-Buddhist asked the Buddha, "I do not ask about the spoken; I do not ask about the unspoken." (Though it is so, someone of the household also has a bit of fragrance. Twin swords leaning against emptiness fly. Fortunately, he does not ask.) / The World-Honoured One sat silently for a long time. (Do not slander the World-Honoured One! Its sound is like thunder. Whether sitting or standing, none can move him.) / The non-Buddhist praised him, saying, "The World-Honoured One, with great benevolence and great compassion, has cleared away the clouds of my delusion and enabled me to enter." (A sharp fellow—with a single nudge he turns at once. A bright pearl in a plate.) / After the non-Buddhist had departed, Ānanda asked the Buddha, "What did the non-Buddhist realize that he spoke of gaining entry?" (No harm in making people doubtful about it. We must also let everyone know. Soldering iron to pig iron.) / The Buddha said, "Like a fine horse in the world that runs on seeing the shadow of the whip." (And tell me, what do you call the shadow of the whip? Striking once with the whisk. There is an eye on the staff's head, bright as the sun. If you wish to know genuine gold, look into the fire. Shide eats rice with his mouth.)
