人天眼目 2.113

2.113

洛浦和尚示眾云。末後一句。始到牢關。把斷要津。不通凡聖。尋常向汝諸人道。任從天下樂忻忻。我獨不肯。何故。靈龜負圖。自取喪身之兆。鳳縈金網。擬趣霄漢。以何期。尋常向汝諸人道。須於旨外明宗。莫向言中取則。所以道。石人機似汝也。解唱巴歌。汝若似石人。雪曲也應和。僧問南泉。如何是道。泉云。平常心是道。如達平常道也。見山即是山。見水即是水。信手拈來。草無可無不可。設使風來樹動。浪起船高。春生夏長。秋收冬藏。有何差異。但得風調雨順。國泰民安。邊方寧靜。君臣道合。豈在麒麟出現鳳凰來儀。方顯祥瑞哉。但得理歸其道事乃平實。無聖可求無凡可捨。內外平懷。泯然自盡。所以諸聖語言。不離世諦。隨順世間。會則途中受用。不會則世諦流布（古德著語云。長因送客處。憶得別家時）。

Venerable Luopu addressed the assembly, saying: 'Only with the final phrase does one reach the firm checkpoint; holding shut the strategic pass, it admits neither ordinary nor sage. Usually I tell all of you: even if the whole world rejoices with delight, I alone do not agree. Why? The spiritual tortoise carrying the diagram brought upon itself the omen of its own destruction; when the phoenix is entangled in a golden net, what hope does it have of soaring to the heavens? Usually I tell all of you: you must clarify the lineage outside the intended message; do not adopt rules within words. Therefore it is said: if the mechanism of the stone man were like yours, he would also know how to sing the songs of Ba; if you were like the stone man, you would also harmonize with the songs of snow.' A monk asked Nanquan: 'What is the Way?' Nanquan said: 'The ordinary mind is the Way.' If one penetrates the ordinary Way, seeing mountains they are just mountains, and seeing water it is just water. Taking them up as one's hand reaches out, there is neither acceptable nor unacceptable. Even if wind comes and trees move, waves rise and boats lift, spring generates and summer grows, autumn harvests and winter stores—what difference is there? As long as the wind is seasoned and the rain is timely, the country prosperous and the people at peace, the borders calm, and lord and vassal harmoniously united in the Way, why must a qilin appear or a phoenix arrive before an auspicious sign is shown? As long as principle returns to its Way, phenomena will be plain and real. There is no sage to seek and no ordinary person to abandon. Inside and outside with an even mind, all dissolves and exhausts itself. Therefore, the words of the sages do not depart from worldly truth; they conform to the world. If you understand, you will enjoy their use on the road; if you do not understand, they remain worldly truths in circulation. (An ancient master commented: "Often, at the place where I saw off a guest, I recalled the time I departed from home.")
