18.16

杭州西興化度悟真大師。師郁泉州人也。自得雪峯心印。化緣盛于杭越之間。後居西興鎮之化度院。法席大興。僧問。如何是西來意。師舉拂子。僧曰。學人不會。師曰。喫茶去。問如何是無縫塔。師曰。五尺六尺。問如何是一塵。師曰。九世剎那分。曰如何含得法界。師曰。法界在什麼處。問谿谷各異師何明一。師曰。汝喘作麼。問學人初機。乞和尚指示入路。師曰。汝怪化度什麼處。問如何是隨色摩尼珠。師曰。青黃赤白。曰如何是不隨色摩尼珠。師曰。青黃赤白。問如何是西來意。師曰。是東來西來。問牛頭未見四祖時如何。師曰。鳥獸俱迷。曰見後如何。師曰。山深水冷。問維摩與文殊對談何事。師曰。唯有門前鏡湖水。清風不改舊時波。師自是聲聞于遐邇。錢王欽其道德。奏紫衣師號。

Master of Comprehending Truth, Huadu of Xixing in Hangzhou, was named Shiyu and was a native of Quanzhou. Having attained Xuefeng's mind-seal, his teaching activities flourished between Hangzhou and Yuezhou. Later he resided at Huadu Monastery in the town of Xixing, where his Dharma assembly flourished greatly. A monk asked, "What is the meaning of the [Patriarch's] coming from the West?" The Master raised his whisk. The monk said, "The student does not understand." The Master said, "Go drink tea." [A monk] asked, "What is the seamless stūpa?" The Master said, "Five feet, six feet." [A monk] asked, "What is a single dust mote?" The Master said, "A fraction of a kṣaṇa of the nine lifetimes." [The monk] said, "How can it contain the dharmadhātu?" The Master said, "Where is the dharmadhātu?" [A monk] asked, "The ravines and valleys differ from each other; how does the Master illuminate their oneness?" The Master said, "Why are you panting?" [A monk] asked, "The student is a beginner. I beg the Upādhyāya to indicate the road of entry." The Master said, "In what place do you blame Huadu?" [A monk] asked, "What is the mani jewel that complies with colors?" The Master said, "Blue, yellow, red, white." [The monk] said, "What is the mani jewel that does not comply with colors?" The Master said, "Blue, yellow, red, white." [A monk] asked, "What is the meaning of the [Patriarch's] coming from the West?" The Master said, "Is it coming from the east or coming from the west?" [A monk] asked, "How was it before Niutou saw the Fourth Patriarch?" The Master said, "Birds and beasts were both deluded." [The monk] said, "How was it after seeing him?" The Master said, "The mountains are deep and the waters are cold." [A monk] asked, "What matter did Vimalakīrti and Mañjuśrī discuss face to face?" The Master said, "There is only the water of Mirror Lake before the gate; / The clear breeze does not alter the waves of former times." From then on, the Master's reputation was heard far and wide. King Qian revered his virtue and the Way, and memorialized the throne to grant him a purple robe and a master's title.
