10.77

福州芙蓉山靈訓禪師。初參歸宗問。如何是佛。宗曰。我向汝道汝還信否。師曰。和尚發誠實言何敢不信。宗曰。即汝便是。師曰。如何保任。宗曰。一翳在眼空華亂墜（法眼云。歸宗若無後語有什麼歸宗也）師辭歸宗。宗問。子什麼處去。師曰。歸嶺中去。宗曰。子在此多年裝束了却來。為子說一上佛法。師結束了上堂。宗曰。近前來。師乃近前。宗曰。時寒途中善為。師聆此一言頓忘前解。後歸寂諡弘照大師。塔曰圓相。

Chan Master Lingxun of Mount Furong in Fuzhou first visited Guizong and asked, “What is the Buddha?” Guizong said, “If I tell you, will you believe?” The Master said, “The Upādhyāya speaks sincere and truthful words; how could I dare not believe?” Guizong said, “It is just you yourself!” The Master said, “How should I preserve and maintain it?” Guizong said, “When a single cataract is in the eye, space-flowers fall in confusion.” (Fayan said, “If Guizong did not have these last words, what Guizong would there be?”) The Master took his leave of Guizong. Guizong asked, “Where are you going?” The Master said, “Returning to the ranges.” Guizong said, “You have been here for many years. Pack your belongings and come back, and I will explain the Buddha-Dharma once for you.” The Master finished packing and went up to the hall. Guizong said, “Come closer.” The Master stepped forward. Guizong said, “The weather is cold; take good care on the road.” Hearing this single word, the Master instantly forgot his former understanding. Later, when he passed into silence, he was granted the posthumous title Great Master Hongzhao. His stūpa was named Circular Figure.
