22.31

福州報慈院文欽禪師。問如何是諸佛境。師曰。雨來雲霧暗晴乾日月明。問如何是妙覺明心。師曰。今冬好晚稻出自秋雨成。問如何是妙覺聞心。師曰。雲生碧岫雨降青天。問如何是平常心合道。師曰。喫茶喫飯隨時過。看水看山實暢情。

Chan Master Wenqin of Baoci Monastery in Fuzhou. [A monk] asked, "What is the realm of all Buddhas?" The Master said, "When rain comes, clouds and mist darken; when it clears and dries, sun and moon are bright." [The monk] asked, "What is the luminous mind of wonderful enlightenment?" The Master said, "This winter's good late rice was born of and ripened by autumn rains." [The monk] asked, "What is the hearing mind of wonderful enlightenment?" The Master said, "Clouds arise from azure peaks; rain falls from the blue sky." [The monk] asked, "How does the ordinary mind accord with the Way?" The Master said, "Drink tea, eat rice, and pass the time as it comes; look at the water, look at the mountains—truly a delightful feeling."
