京兆華嚴寺休靜禪師。師曾在樂普作維那。白槌普請曰。上間般柴下間鋤地。時第一座問。聖僧作麼生。師曰。當堂不正坐不赴兩頭機。師在洞山時問曰。學人未見理路未免情識。洞山曰。汝還見理路也無。曰見無理路。洞山曰。什麼處得情識來。曰學人實問。洞山曰。恁麼須向萬里無寸草處立。曰無寸草處還許立也無。洞山曰。直須恁麼去。般柴次洞山把住柴問。狹路相逢時作麼生。曰反仄何幸。洞山曰。汝記吾言。汝向南住有一千人。若向北住即三二百而已。師初住福州東山之華嚴。未幾屬後唐莊宗皇帝徵入輦下。大闡玄風其徒果三百矣。問祖意與教意同別。師曰。探盡龍宮藏眾義不能詮。問大悟底人為什麼却迷。師曰。破鏡不重照落華難上枝。問大軍設天王齋求勝。賊軍亦設天王齋求勝。未審天王赴阿誰願。師曰。天垂雨露不揀榮枯。一日車駕入寺燒香。帝問曰。遮箇是什麼神。師對曰。護法善神。帝曰。沙汰時什麼處去來。師曰。天垂雨露不為榮枯。師後遊河朔於平陽示滅。茶毘獲舍利。建四浮圖。一晉州。二房州。三終南山逍遙園。四終南山華嚴寺。勅諡寶智大師無為之塔。

> Chan Master Xiujing of Huayan Temple in Jingzhao. The Master once served as karmadāna at Lepu. Striking the gavel for general work, he said, “The upper hall carries firewood; the lower hall hoes the ground.” At that time, the head monk asked, “What about the holy monk?” The Master said, “Sitting upright in the hall, he does not attend to the activities of the two ends.” When the Master was at Dongshan, he asked, “Your student has not yet seen the path of principle and has not avoided emotional consciousness.” Dongshan said, “Do you still see the path of principle or not?” The Master said, “I see that there is no path of principle.” Dongshan said, “Where did you get emotional consciousness?” The Master said, “Your student asks sincerely.” Dongshan said, “If so, you must stand where there is not an inch of grass for ten thousand miles.” The Master said, “Is one still allowed to stand where there is not an inch of grass?” Dongshan said, “You must go straight on like that.” While carrying firewood, Dongshan grabbed the wood and asked, “What happens when meeting on a narrow path?” The Master said, “Turning sideways, what good fortune!” Dongshan said, “Remember my words: if you dwell toward the south, you will have a thousand people; if you dwell toward the north, there will be only two or three hundred.” The Master at first resided at Huayan on Mount Dong in Fuzhou. Before long, Emperor Zhuangzong of the Later Tang summoned him to the capital. He vastly propagated the profound tradition, and his followers indeed numbered three hundred. A monk asked, “Are the intention of the ancestral masters and the intention of the teachings the same or different?” The Master said, “Though one explores all the treasures of the Dragon Palace, the multitude of meanings cannot express it.” A monk asked, “Why is a person of great awakening instead deluded?” The Master said, “A broken mirror does not reflect again; fallen blossoms find it hard to climb back onto the branch.” A monk asked, “The great army offers a Heavenly King vegetarian feast to seek victory, and the rebel army also offers a Heavenly King vegetarian feast to seek victory. I wonder whose wish the Heavenly King attends to?” The Master said, “Heaven sends down rain and dew, not choosing between the flourishing and the withered.” One day the imperial carriage entered the temple to burn incense. The emperor asked, “What deity is this?” The Master replied, “A benevolent deity that protects the Dharma.” The emperor said, “During the purge, where did it go?” The Master said, “Heaven sends down rain and dew; it does not act for the flourishing or the withered.” Later, the Master travelled to Heshuo and demonstrated extinction in Pingyang. From the cremation, relics were obtained, and four stūpas were erected: first at Jinzhou, second at Fangzhou, third at Xiaoyao Park on Mount Zhongnan, and fourth at Huayan Temple on Mount Zhongnan. An imperial edict bestowed the posthumous title Great Master Baozhi, and the stūpa was named Wuwei.
