禪林寶訓 3.14

### [3.14](https://indike.org/pramana/in.bauddha.taisho.2022.3.14)

雪堂曰。萬菴送高菴過天台回。謂予言。有德貫首座。隱景星巖三十載。影不出山。龍學耿公為郡。特以瑞巖迎之。貫辭以偈曰。三十年來獨掩關。使符那得到青山。休將瑣末人間事。換我一生林下閒。使命再至終不就。耿公嘆曰。今日隱山之流也。萬菴曰。彼有老宿能記其語者。乃曰。不體道本沒溺死生。觸境生心隨情動念。狼心狐意諂行誑人。附勢阿容狥名苟利。乖真逐妄背覺合塵。林下道人終不為也。予曰。貫亦僧中間氣也（逸事）。

> Xuetang said: "When Wan'an returned from escorting Gao'an across Tiantai, he said to me: 'There was the head monk Deguan, who concealed himself on Mount Jingxing for thirty years, his shadow never leaving the mountain. Lord Geng, an academician of the Longtu Hall, served as the prefect and specially sent for him to come to Rui'an. Deguan declined with a gāthā, saying:  
> "For thirty years alone I have shut my gate;  
> How could an official summons reach the green mountain?  
> Do not take the trifling affairs of the human world  
> To trade for my lifetime of leisure beneath the trees."  
> The emissary came a second time, but he never consented in the end. Lord Geng sighed and said: "He is of the ilk of Yinshan today!"' Wan'an said: 'There was an elder there who could remember his words, which were: "Not realizing the root of the Way, one is submerged in saṃsāra, generating mind upon encountering objects and moving thoughts according to emotions; with the heart of a wolf and the intent of a fox, one deceives people with flattering conduct; attaching to power, currying favor, chasing after fame, and seeking illicit gain; opposing truth and pursuing falsehood, turning away from enlightenment to merge with the dust. A person of the Way beneath the trees would never do this."' I said: 'Guan was indeed an extraordinary talent among monks.'"
