21.38

福州東禪院可隆了空大師。初開堂有僧問。遠棄九峯丈室來坐東禪道場。人天瞻仰於尊顏。願賜一言而演說。師曰。堯風千載了空不昧於闍梨。曰恁麼即人天有賴。師曰。當不當。問如何是道。師曰。正是道。曰如何是道中人。師曰。分明向汝道。師上堂曰。大好省要自不仙陀若是聽響之流。不如歸堂向火。珍重。問如何是普賢第一句。師曰。落第二句也。

Great Master Kelong Liaokong of Dongchan Monastery in Fuzhou first opened his hall. A monk asked, "Leaving behind Jiufeng's abbot's quarters far away, you have come to sit in the bodhimaṇḍa of Dongchan. Humans and devas gaze up at your revered countenance; we pray you grant a word to expound." The master said, "Yao's custom has lasted a thousand years; Liaokong does not deceive the ācārya." [The monk] said, "In that case, humans and devas have someone to rely on." The master said, "Does it fit or not?" [A monk] asked, "What is the Way?" The master said, "It is precisely the Way." [The monk] said, "What is the person within the Way?" The master said, "I have clearly spoken it to you." The master entered the hall and said, "How very concise and essential! If you are not a saindhava yourself, and are of the sort that merely listens to echoes, you had better return to the hall and warm yourselves by the fire. Take care." [A monk] asked, "What is Samantabhadra's first phrase?" The master said, "It has fallen into the second phrase."
