佛果圜悟禪師碧巖錄 6.1

6.1

A pointer says: As soon as right and wrong arise, confusingly one loses one's mind. Not falling into stages, there is again nothing to get a handle on. Tell me, is letting go right, or is holding fast right? Arriving here, if there is the slightest path of intellectual understanding, one is still lingering in verbal explanations and still bound to dynamic objects; this is all leaning on grasses and clinging to trees. Even if you reach the place of solitary liberation, you cannot avoid gazing toward your home village from ten thousand miles away. Can you grasp it? If you have not yet grasped it, just attend to a gong'an that is already complete in principle. Please cite it for examination.
