佛果圜悟禪師碧巖錄 5.4

5.4

"Possessing eyes within life is just like death;" (Neither knows the other. Tossing and turning. If not composed, how could one distinguish this fellow's black from white?) / "Why must the contraindication of a medicine test an adept?" (If not tested, how could one distinguish the truth? Encountering him, what harm is there in trying out a test? Still, it had to be asked.) / "Even the ancient Buddhas say they have not reached it;" (Fortunately there is a companion. The thousand sages do not transmit it either. This mountain monk does not know either.) / "I do not know who can scatter dust and sand." (Right now there are no few of them. Opening the eyes hits it; closing the eyes hits it. Reverend, bringing it up like this, where does it fall?)
