### [3.27](https://indike.org/pramana/in.bauddha.taisho.2004.3.27)

師云。此日面月面二佛。如星流電卷不容擬議。昔秦宮以玉為鏡。照群僚。肝膽臟腑皆現。又狐狸為人。鏡中唯現本形。此無私隱也。物類相感志。閬風浦出珠。置器中自轉。謂之走珠。此頌馬祖心如古鏡。機似走珠。不留影迹也。百鍊之金。在作家鉆鎚。一機之絹。在工巧刀尺。僧問雲巖。大保任底人與那箇。是一是二。巖云。一機之絹。是一段。是兩段。洞山代云。如人接木。此乃境與神會。智與理冥。天水同秋。君臣道合。絹得刀尺。則裁剪由人。金得鉆鎚。則鍛鍊在己。且道衲僧分上成得箇甚麼邊事。日面佛月面佛。

> The Master said: These two buddhas, Sun-Face and Moon-Face, are like stars shooting and lightning rolling, admitting of no deliberation. Formerly, the Qin palace used jade for mirrors to reflect the ministers, so that their livers, gallbladders, and viscera all appeared; moreover, when foxes took human form, only their original shapes appeared in the mirror. This is being without partiality or concealment. The \*Record of the Mutual Resonance of Things\* states that Langfeng Shoal produces pearls which, when placed in a vessel, turn of themselves, which are called rolling pearls. This verse praises Mazu's mind as being like an ancient mirror and his dynamic like a rolling pearl, leaving no trace of an image. Gold refined a hundred times depends on the hammer and anvil of an adept; silk from a single loom depends on the skillful shears and ruler. A monk asked Yunyan, 'The person of great preservation and that one—are they one or two?' Yan said, 'Silk from a single loom: is it one piece or two pieces?' Dongshan spoke in his place: 'Like someone grafting trees.' This is the convergence of objective realm and spirit, the merging of wisdom and principle, heaven and water sharing the same autumn, ruler and minister in harmonious accord. When silk encounters shears and ruler, cutting is up to the person; when gold encounters hammer and anvil, forging rests with oneself. Tell me, on the part of a patch-robed monk, what sort of business has been accomplished? Sun-Face Buddha, Moon-Face Buddha.
