佛祖歷代通載 14.26

14.26

十四年。天柱山崇惠禪師示寂。師彭州人。得法於牛頭威禪師。後居天柱寺。僧問達磨未來此土。還有佛法也無。師曰。未來時且置。即今事作麼生。曰某甲不會。師曰。萬古長空。一朝風月。良久又曰。闍黎會麼。自己分上作麼生。干他達磨來與未來作麼。他家來太似賣卜漢相似。見汝不會為汝錐破。卦文才生吉凶在汝分上一切自看。僧問。如何是解卜底人。曰汝才出門時便不中也。問宗門中請師舉唱。答曰。石牛長吼真空外。木馬嘶時月隱山。問如何是西來意。曰白猿抱子歸青嶂。蜂蝶䘖花綠蘂間。及是遷化。肉身不壞。數百年猶在。

In the fourteenth year, Chan Master Chonghui of Mount Tianzhu manifested nirvāṇa. The Master was a native of Pengzhou. He obtained the Dharma from Chan Master Niutou Wei, and later resided at Tianzhu Temple. A monk asked, "Before Bodhidharma came to this land, was there still the Buddha Dharma or not?" The Master said, "Set aside the time before he came; what about the matter of the present moment?" The monk said, "I do not understand." The Master said, "Eternities of boundless space; a single morning's wind and moon." After a long pause, he added, "Ācārya, do you understand? What is your own lot like? What does it have to do with whether Bodhidharma came or did not come? His coming was very much like a fortune-teller: seeing that you did not understand, he pierced through the shell for you. The hexagram lines have just emerged; good fortune and ill fortune are entirely for you to look at in your own lot." The monk asked, "What kind of person is one who understands divination?" The Master said, "The moment you step out the door, it misses the mark." The monk asked, "Within the ancestral school, I request the Master to present and sing out." He replied: "The stone ox bellows continuously beyond true emptiness; / When the wooden horse neighs, the moon is hidden behind the mountain." The monk asked, "What is the meaning of the coming from the west?" He replied: "The white ape cradles its infant and returns to the azure precipice; / Bees and butterflies hold blossoms in their mouths among the green stamens." When he passed away, his physical body did not decay and still remained after several hundred years.
