佛果圜悟禪師碧巖錄 9.11

9.11

Case: Yunmen instructed the assembly, saying: "The ancient Buddha and the exposed pillar intersect—which dynamic is this?" (Three thousand miles away, no connection. Shattered into seven flowers and eight splits.) He spoke on their behalf, saying: (When someone dies in the eastern family, the western family joins the mourning. A single complete whole cannot be attained.) "Clouds arise on the southern mountain; (Heaven and earth cannot see. A knife cannot cut in.) / Rain falls on the northern mountain." (Not a drop shed. Half south of the river, half north of the river.)
