萬松老人評唱天童覺和尚頌古從容庵錄 6.65

6.65

師云。終南山雲際師祖禪師。法嗣南泉。天童誤為魯祖。就此辨之。學者應知。且池州魯祖山寶雲禪師。法嗣馬祖。乃南泉兄也。況師祖南泉。以名呼之。因此公案悟去。南泉之子無疑也。初問南泉。摩尼珠人不識。如來藏裏親收得。此語本出永嘉禪師證道經。梵天琪和尚注云。梵語摩尼此云如意。又云無垢光。亦曰增長。楞伽經云。寂滅者名為一心。一心者名如來藏。具三種義。一隱覆義。覆藏如來故。二含攝義。含攝一切眾生國土故。三出生義。能生無漏因果人天道行故。初約迷時。後約悟時。中間剋體。又勝鬘。有二種如來藏。一空如來藏。脫離一切煩惱。二不空如來藏。具過恒沙不思議佛法。終南山雲際師祖禪師。初在南泉時。問摩尼珠人不識。又問珠。泉云。去汝。不會我語。師祖從此信入。圓通國師云。如今還有人信入麼。若有罔象到時光燦爛。若無。离婁行處浪滔天。佛果云。盡大地。是如來藏。向甚麼處著珠。盡大地。是摩尼珠。喚甚麼作藏。雪竇別云。嶮。百尺竿頭作伎倆。不是好手。這裏著得箇眼。賓主互換便能深入虎穴。或不恁麼。縱饒師祖悟去。也是龍頭蛇尾。要見頭尾完全。須是天童和尚。頌云。

The Master said: Chan Master Shizu of Yunjishan in the Zhongnan Mountains was a Dharma heir of Nanquan. Tiantong mistakenly took him for Luzu; let us distinguish it here, and students should know this. Furthermore, Chan Master Baoyun of Mount Luzu in Chizhou was a Dharma heir of Mazu, an elder Dharma brother to Nanquan. What is more, Nanquan addressed Shizu by name, and he awakened through this gong'an; he was beyond doubt Nanquan's descendant. At first he asked Nanquan: '"The maṇi jewel people do not recognize; in the tathāgatagarbha it is personally retrieved."' These words originally come from Chan Master Yongjia's Zhengdao ge. Master Qi of Fantian commented: 'In Sanskrit maṇi means "as-one-wishes" (ruyi); it also means "immaculate radiance," and also "growth."' The Laṅkāvatāra-sūtra says: 'Quiescence is called the One Mind; the One Mind is called the tathāgatagarbha. It possesses three meanings: first, concealment, because it conceals the Tathāgata; second, inclusion, because it includes all sentient beings and lands; third, generation, because it can produce the path and conduct of uncorrupted causes and effects of humans and devas.' The first concerns the time of delusion; the latter concerns the time of awakening; the middle directly points to the substance itself. Also, the Śrīmālādevī-sūtra has two kinds of tathāgatagarbha: first, the empty tathāgatagarbha, detached from all defilements; second, the non-empty tathāgatagarbha, endowed with inconceivable Buddha-dharmas exceeding the sands of the Ganges. When Chan Master Shizu of Yunjishan in the Zhongnan Mountains was first with Nanquan, he asked about 'the maṇi jewel people do not recognize,' and also asked about the jewel. Nanquan said, 'Go! You do not understand my words.' From this Shizu had faith and entered. National Teacher Yuantong said, 'Nowadays is there still anyone who has faith and enters? If there is, when Xiangwang arrives the radiance is dazzling; if not, where Li Lou walks the waves surge to the heavens.' Foguo said, 'The entire great earth is the tathāgatagarbha; where will you place the jewel? The entire great earth is the maṇi jewel; what do you call the treasury?' Xuedou said differently: 'Perilous! Performing acrobatics atop a hundred-foot pole is not the work of a master hand.' If you can set an eye here, host and guest exchanging positions, you will be able to enter deep into the tiger's cave. Otherwise, even if Shizu had an awakening, it would still be a dragon's head and a snake's tail. If you want to see head and tail complete, you must look to Venerable Tiantong. The verse says:
