禪林寶訓 4.46

- **Language:** Classical Chinese

### [4.46](https://indike.org/pramana/in.bauddha.taisho.2022.4.46)

或菴入院後。施主請小參。曰道常然而不渝。事有弊而必變。昔江西南岳諸祖。若稽古為訓考其當否。持以中道務合人心。以悟為則。所以素風凌然逮今未泯。若約衲僧門下。言前薦得屈我宗風。句下分明沈埋佛祖。雖然如是。行到水窮處。坐看雲起時。由是緇素喜所未聞。歸者如市（語錄異此）。

> After Huo'an entered the monastery, a donor requested an informal sermon. He said: 'The Way is constant and does not change; affairs have abuses and must alter. In the past, the various ancestral masters of Jiangxi and Nanyue, as if examining antiquity for instruction, checked whether things were appropriate, maintained the middle way, and made efforts to accord with human minds, taking awakening as the standard; therefore their pure style was exalted and has not perished down to the present. If we speak according to the gate of patch-robed monks, to understand before words wrongs our lineage style, and to be clear under the phrase buries the buddhas and patriarchs. Although it is like this: / "I walk to where the waters end, / And sit to watch when clouds arise."' / From this, monastics and laypeople were delighted by what they had never heard, and those who turned to him gathered like a marketplace." (The recorded sayings differ from this)
