景德傳燈錄 26.46

26.46

郢州大陽山警玄禪師。僧問。叢林浩浩法鼓喧喧。向上宗乘如何舉唱。師曰。他無箇消息爭肯應當。曰今日宗乘已蒙師指示。未審法嗣嗣何人。師曰。梁山點出秦時鏡。長慶峯前一樣輝。問如何是大陽境。師曰。孤鶴老猿啼谷韻。瘦松寒竹鎖青煙。曰如何是境中人。師曰。作麼作麼。問如何是大陽家風。師曰。滿缾傾不出大地勿饑人。問如何是佛。師曰。汝何不是佛。曰學人不會時如何。師曰。迢然不挂三秋月。一句當陽豈在燈。問如何是祖師西來意。師曰。解問不當。曰學人不會時如何。師曰。陝府鐵牛人皆嚮。卞和得玉至今傳。問如何是大陽透法身底句。師曰。大洋海底紅塵起。須彌頂上水橫流。問牛頭未見四祖時為什麼百鳥銜華。師曰。出戶烏雞頭戴雪。曰見後為什麼不銜華。師曰。杲日當天後烏雞出戶飛。

Chan Master Jingxuan of Mount Dayang in Yingzhou. A monk asked, "The monastic groves are vast and expansive, and the Dharma drums resound loudly. How do you present and proclaim the transcendental vehicle of our school?"
The Master said, "If he has no such message, how could he be willing to respond?"
The monk said, "Today the vehicle of our school has already received your instruction; I wonder whose Dharma successor the Master is?"
The Master said, "Liangshan brought out the mirror of the Qin dynasty; before the peak of Changqing, it shines just the same."
The monk asked, "What is the realm of Dayang?"
The Master said, "A solitary crane and an old ape chant the rhyme of the valley; slender pines and cold bamboo lock in the blue mist."
The monk asked, "Who is the person within the realm?"
The Master said, "What are you doing? What are you doing?"
The monk asked, "What is the house style of Dayang?"
The Master said, "Though the full bottle cannot be poured out, on the great earth let there be no starving person."
The monk asked, "What is the Buddha?"
The Master said, "Why are you not the Buddha?"
The monk said, "How is it when a student does not understand?"
The Master said, "Aloof and clear, it hangs not—the moon of the three autumn months; when one phrase faces the sun, how could it depend on a lamp?"
The monk asked, "What is the meaning of the Ancestral Master's coming from the West?"
The Master said, "Knowing how to ask is not fitting."
The monk said, "How is it when a student does not understand?"
The Master said, "To the iron ox of Shan Prefecture everyone turns; that Bian He obtained the jade is transmitted down to this day."
The monk asked, "What is the phrase by which Dayang penetrates the Dharmakāya?"
The Master said, "At the bottom of the great ocean, red dust rises; upon the summit of Mount Sumeru, waters flow horizontally."
The monk asked, "Before Niutou saw the Fourth Ancestor, why did the hundred birds hold flowers in their beaks [to offer him]?"
The Master said, "Emerging from the house, the black rooster wears snow upon its head."
The monk asked, "Why did they not hold flowers after he saw him?"
The Master said, "After the bright sun hangs in the sky, the black rooster flies out of the house."
