佛果圜悟禪師碧巖錄 8.27

8.27

Exhausting the dynamic function does not result in blindness: (He only managed to say half. He also wanted to test his fault. The words are still in the ears.) / Pushing a cow's head down to eat grass. (Losing money and incurring punishment. Half south of the river, half north of the river. Little does he realize he wounds his edge and offends his hands.) / The four-seven and two-three ancestral masters: (Where there are branches, climb the branches; implicating the former sages. Not only implicating one person.) / When the precious vessel is brought out, it turns into a fault! (All people on the great earth wring their hands and beat their breasts. Return my staff! Implicating this mountain monk so that he cannot lift his head either.) / The fault is deep, (Extremely deep! The patch-robed monks of the world cannot leap out. Tell me, just how deep is it?) / Nowhere to be sought— (Right beneath your feet, yet you cannot search it out.) / In heaven and among men, drowned together on dry land! (The patch-robed monks of the world are buried in a single pit. Is there anyone alive? Letting pass one move. Blue heavens, blue heavens! / 廠: pronounced chi-liang-qie, a wall-less horse shed. / 眨: pronounced ze-qia-qie, movement of the eyes.)
