16.46

洪州建昌鳳棲山同安和尚（第一世住）僧問。如何是和尚家風。師曰。金雞抱子歸霄漢。玉兔懷胎入紫微。僧曰。忽遇客來將何祇待。師曰。金果早朝猿摘去。玉華晚後鳳銜來。問終日在潭為什麼釣不得。師曰。玄源不隱無生寶。莫謾垂鉤向碧潭。問澄機一句曉露不逢時如何。師曰。太陽門下無星月。天子殿前無貧兒。問如何是同安轉身處。師曰。曠劫不曾沈玉露。目前豈滯太陽機。問險惡道中如何進步。師曰。玄身透過千差路。碧海無波往即難。問如何是衲衣下事。師曰。一片玉輪今古在。豈同漁父夜沈鉤。問如何是大勿慚愧底人。師曰。空王不坐無生殿。迦葉堂前不點燈。

Upādhyāya Tong'an of Mount Fengqi in Jianchang, Hongzhou (First-generation resident). A monk asked, "What is the Upādhyāya's house style?" The Master said, "The golden rooster embraces its chick and returns to the empyrean; the jade hare conceives and enters the Purple Tenuity." The monk said, "If a guest suddenly arrives, with what will you entertain him?" The Master said, "Golden fruit is plucked by monkeys in the early morning; jade blossoms are borne in phoenixes' beaks after evening." He asked, "Why can one not catch anything though fishing all day in the pool?" The Master said, "The dark source does not conceal the jewel of the unproduced; do not cast your hook in vain toward the emerald pool." He asked, "What is it like when a single phrase of the clear faculty encounters no morning dew?" The Master said, "Beneath the sun's gate there are no stars or moon; before the Son of Heaven's hall there are no poor children." He asked, "What is Tong'an's place of turning around?" The Master said, "Throughout vast eons, the jade dew has never sunk; how could the workings of the sun be obstructed right before the eyes?" He asked, "How does one advance along a perilous and evil path?" The Master said, "The profound body penetrates the thousands of divergent roads; when the emerald sea is waveless, going is indeed difficult." He asked, "What is the matter beneath the patch-robe?" The Master said, "A single piece of the jade wheel exists through present and past; how could it be like an old fisherman dropping his hook at night?" He asked, "What is a person of great shamelessness?" The Master said, "The King of Emptiness does not sit in the Hall of the Unproduced; before Kāśyapa's hall, no lamp is lit."
