萬松老人評唱天童覺和尚頌古從容庵錄 6.59

6.59

師云。雲門大師。愛作這箇去就。盛忙百鬧半路抽身。一日示眾。舉肇公寶藏論。若全舉合云。夫天地之內。宇宙之間。中有一寶。祕在形山。識物虛照。內外空然。寂莫離見。其用玄玄。雪竇拈云。乾坤之內。宇宙之間。中有一寶。挂在壁上。達磨九年不敢正眼覻著。如今衲僧要見。劈脊便棒。圓通國師道。不謬為德山兒孫。本錄將三門。來燈籠上。作麼生。自代云。逐物意移。又云。雷起雲興。佛果道。羅什乃肇公受業師。瓦官寺佛馱跋陀羅。此云覺賢。乃嗣法師。無盡燈。列于覺賢法嗣之列。覺賢嗣西竺佛大先。佛大先與達磨。同參二十七祖般若多羅。肇臨刑之日。乞七日假。造寶藏論。雲門拈來示眾。不可與爾座主相似解釋義理。只要爾下箇注脚。拈燈籠向佛殿裏。常情可以測度。將三門來燈籠上。常情測度得麼。本分宗師終不將實法繫綴人。所以雪竇道。中有一寶。挂在壁上。若非天童借來用。幾成滯貨。頌云。

The Master said: Great Master Yunmen loved to make this kind of move—in the height of bustle and hundreds of clamours, slipping away halfway. One day he instructed the assembly by raising Sengzhao's Treasure Store Treatise. If completely cited, it should say: “Now, within heaven and earth, in the midst of the universe, therein is a treasure, hidden in the mountain of form. Knowing objects, it illuminates emptily; inside and outside are completely void. Silent and free of views, its function is profound and mysterious.” Xuedou raised it, saying: “Within heaven and earth, in the midst of the universe, therein is a treasure, hung upon the wall. For nine years Bodhidharma dared not look at it straight on. Today, if patched-robed monks wish to see it, a blow of the staff straight to the back!” National Preceptor Yuantong said, “Truly he is a worthy descendant of Deshan.” In the original record, as for “bringing the triple gate onto the lantern, what is it?”, he himself said on their behalf, “Following things, the intention shifts”; and again, “Thunder breaks out, clouds arise.” Foguo said: “Kumārajīva was Master Sengzhao’s tonsure master; Buddhabhadra—translated here as Awoken Worthy—of Waguan Monastery was his Dharma-transmission master. The Lamp of Inexhaustible Light places him in the lineage of Buddhabhadra’s Dharma heirs. Buddhabhadra succeeded western India's Buddhasena; Buddhasena and Bodhidharma together studied under the twenty-seventh patriarch, Prajñātāra. On the day of Sengzhao's execution, he begged for seven days’ leave and composed the Treasure Store Treatise. When Yunmen raised it to instruct the assembly, it was not for you to explain the meaning like a lecture master; he only wanted you to add a footnote. Picking up the lantern and bringing it into the Buddha hall can be measured by ordinary feelings; but can bringing the triple gate onto the lantern be measured by ordinary feelings? A fundamental lineage master never binds people with real dharmas. Therefore Xuedou said, ‘Therein is a treasure, hung upon the wall.’ If Tiantong had not borrowed it to use, it would have nearly become stagnant goods.” The verse says:
