韶州雙峯山興福院竟欽和尚。慧真廣悟禪師益州人也。受業於峨眉洞溪山黑水寺。觀方慕道。預雲門法席密承指喻。乃開山創院漸成叢林。開堂日雲門和尚躬臨證明。僧問。如何是佛法大意。師曰。日出方知天下朗。無油那點佛前燈。問如何是雙峯境。師曰。夜聽水流庵後竹。晝看雲起面前山。問如何是法王劍。師曰。鉛刀徒逞不若龍泉。曰用者如何。師曰。藏鋒猶不許。露刃更何堪。問賓頭盧應供四天下還得遍也無。師曰。如月入水。問如何是用而不雜。師曰。明月堂前垂玉露。水精殿裏撒真珠。有行者問。某甲遇賊來時。若殺即違佛教不殺又違王勅。未審師意如何。師曰。官不容針私通車馬。廣主劉氏嘗親問法要。至太平興國二年三月戒門人曰。吾不久去世。汝可就本山頂預修墳塔。至五月二十三日工畢。師曰。後日子時行矣。及期會雲門爽和尚溫門舜峯長老等七人夜話。侍者報三更。師索香焚之合掌而逝。

Upādhyāya Jingqin of Xingfu Cloister on Mount Shuangfeng in Shaozhou, Chan Master Huizhen Guangwu, was a native of Yizhou. He received his training at Heishui Temple on Mount Dongxi in Emei. Traveling around and aspiring to the Way, he joined Yunmen's Dharma assembly and secretly received his instruction. Thereupon he opened the mountain and founded the cloister, which gradually became a monastery. On the day of opening the hall, Upādhyāya Yunmen personally attended to witness and confirm it. A monk asked, "What is the great meaning of the Buddha Dharma?" The Master said, "Only when the sun rises does one know the realm is bright; without oil, how can the lamp before the Buddha be lit?" [The monk] asked, "What is the realm of Shuangfeng?" The Master said, "At night, hearing the water flow past the bamboo behind the hermitage; by day, watching the clouds rise above the mountain in front." [The monk] asked, "What is the sword of the Dharma King?" The Master said, "A lead knife makes vain displays; it is not equal to Longquan." [The monk] said, "What about the one who uses it?" The Master said, "Even hiding the blade's edge is not permitted; how much less bearing the exposed blade!" [The monk] asked, "When Piṇḍola receives offerings in the four continents, does he reach them all or not?" The Master said, "Like the moon entering water." [The monk] asked, "What is functioning without confusion?" The Master said, "Before the bright moon hall hangs jade dew; in the crystal palace pearls are scattered." A practitioner asked, "When I encounter robbers coming, if I kill them it violates the Buddha's teaching, but if I do not kill them it violates the king's decree. What is the master's opinion?" The Master said, "Officially not even a needle is admitted; privately carts and horses pass through." Liu, ruler of Guangzhou, once personally questioned him on the essentials of the Dharma. In the third month of the second year of Taiping Xingguo, he admonished his disciples, saying, "I will depart this world before long; you may prepare a tomb and stupa on the peak of this mountain in advance." On the twenty-third day of the fifth month, the construction was completed. The Master said, "I shall depart at midnight the day after tomorrow." When the time came, he gathered Upādhyāya Shuang of Yunmen, Elder Shunfeng of Wenmen, and others, seven people in all, for a night conversation. The attendant reported the third watch. The Master called for incense, burned it, joined his palms, and passed away.
