24.20

福州廣平玄旨禪師曾住黃檗。上堂示眾曰。還有人證明麼。若有人證明。亦免孤負上祖埋沒後來。若是尋言數句大藏分明。若是祖宗門中怪及什麼處。恁麼道亦是傍瞥之辭。僧問。如何是廣平境。師曰。地擎名山秀谿連海水清。曰如何是境中人。師曰。汝問我答。問如何是法身體。師曰。廓落虛空絕玷瑕。曰如何是體中物。師曰。一輪明月散秋江。曰未審體與物分不分。師曰。適來道什麼。曰恁麼即不分也。師曰。穿耳胡僧笑點頭。

Chan Master Xuanzhi of Guangping in Fuzhou once resided at Huangbo. He went up to the hall and instructed the assembly, saying: "Is there anyone who can bear witness? If someone bears witness, they will also avoid letting down the ancestral masters of old and burying those who come after. If it is pursuing words and counting phrases, the great canon of scriptures is clear. If it is within the gate of the ancestral school, where does any oddity lie? Speaking like this is also mere sidelong glance talk." A monk asked, "What is the environment of Guangping?" The Master said, "The earth upholds the peak of the famous mountain; the mountain stream joins the sea water, clear." [The monk] said, "Who is the person within the environment?" The Master said, "You ask, and I answer." [The monk] asked, "What is the substance of the Dharmakāya?" The Master said, "Vast, open empty space, devoid of spot or flaw." [The monk] said, "What is the thing within the substance?" The Master said, "A wheel of bright moon scattering across the autumn river." [The monk] said, "I wonder whether substance and thing are divided or not?" The Master said, "What did you say just now?" [The monk] said, "If so, then they are not divided." The Master said, "The ear-pierced foreign monk nods and smiles."
