佛果圜悟禪師碧巖錄 9.29

9.29

自照列孤明。自家脚跟下。本有此一段光明。只是尋常用得暗。所以雲門大師。與爾羅列此光明。在爾面前。且作麼生是諸人光明。厨庫三門。此是雲門列孤明處也。盤山道。心月孤圓光吞萬像。這箇便是真常獨露。然後與君通一線。亦怕人著在厨庫三門處。厨庫三門則且從却。朝花亦謝樹亦無影。日又落月又暗。盡乾坤大地。黑漫漫地。諸人還見麼。看時誰不見。且道是誰不見。到這裏。當明中有暗。暗中有明。皆如前後步自可見。雪竇道。見不見。頌好事不如無。合見又不見。合明又不明。倒騎牛兮入佛殿。入黑漆桶裏去也。須是爾自騎牛入佛殿。看道是箇什麼道理。

'Illuminating itself, it displays a solitary radiance.' Under your own heels, there is originally this stretch of radiance; it is just that you routinely use it in darkness. Therefore, Great Master Yunmen arrays this radiance before you. But what is everyone's radiance? 'The storeroom, the triple gate.' This is where Yunmen displays the solitary radiance. Panshan said: 'The mind-moon is solitary and round, its light swallowing myriad forms.' This is the true and eternal singularly exposed. 'Then, for you, he opens a single line.' He also feared people would attach to the storeroom and the triple gate. Setting aside the storeroom and the triple gate, in the morning the flowers wither and the tree casts no shadow; the sun sets and the moon darkens; the entire universe and great earth are pitch black. Do you all still see? 'When looking, who does not see?' Tell me, who does not see? Arriving here, within light there is darkness, within darkness there is light; just like the steps before and behind, one can naturally see. Xuedou says: 'Seeing or not seeing?' versifying 'A good thing is not as good as nothing.' Should see, yet does not see; should be clear, yet is not clear. 'Riding the ox backwards, one enters the Buddha hall'—entering into the black lacquer tub! You must ride the ox backwards into the Buddha hall for yourself and see what principle this is.
