萬松老人評唱天童覺和尚頌古從容庵錄 6.109

6.109

師云。見有不有。其有自朽。見怪不怪。其怪自壞。摩訶衍論。十四祖龍樹祖師造也。乃云一切諸法。一切因緣故應有。一切諸法。一切因緣故不應有。此翻手覆手也。瑯琊上堂云。見聞覺知。俱為生死之因。見聞覺知。俱為解脫之本。譬如師子返擲。南北東西。且無定止。汝等諸人若也不會。且莫辜負釋迦老子。吽。此所以不落瞿曇後也。瞿曇梵語。具云喬答摩。此云地勝。謂除天外在地人中。最殊勝故。方今後五百歲。去聖時遙。人多懈怠。如何得不落後去。裂破古今。

The Master said: 'Seeing being, it is not being: its being decays of itself. Seeing the bizarre, do not treat it as bizarre: its bizarreness collapses of itself.' The Mahāyāna-śāstra was composed by the fourteenth patriarch, Patriarch Nāgārjuna. It says: 'All dharmas, because of all causes and conditions, should exist. All dharmas, because of all causes and conditions, should not exist.' This is turning the hand up and turning the hand down. Langya took the high seat and said: 'Seeing, hearing, perceiving, and knowing are all causes of birth and death; seeing, hearing, perceiving, and knowing are all the root of liberation. It is like a lion turning and leaping: south, north, east, west, with no fixed place at all. If all of you do not understand, for the time being do not disappoint old man Śākya. Hūṃ!' This is why he does not fall behind Gautama. Gautama is Sanskrit, fully rendered Qiaodamo, and translated here as 'Earthly Excellence', meaning that aside from the devas, among humans on earth he is most distinctly supreme. Just now, in the final five hundred years, far removed from the era of the sages, people are mostly negligent. How can one succeed in not falling behind? Tear right through past and present!
