27.17

天台寒山子者本無氏族。始豐縣西七十里有寒明二巖。以其於寒巖中居止得名也。容貌枯悴布襦零落。以樺皮為冠。曳大木履時來國清寺就拾得取眾僧殘食菜滓食之。或廊下徐行。或時叫噪望空慢罵。寺僧以杖逼逐。翻身拊掌大笑而去。雖出言如狂而有意趣。一日豐干告之曰。汝與我遊五臺即我同流若不與我去非我同流。曰我不去。豐干曰。汝不是我同流。寒山却問。汝去五臺作什麼。豐干曰。我去禮文殊。曰汝不是我同流。暨豐干滅後。閭丘公入山訪之。見寒拾二人圍鑪語笑。閭丘不覺致拜。二人連聲咄叱。寺僧驚愕曰。大官何拜風狂漢耶。寒山復執閭丘手笑而言曰。豐干饒舌。久而放之。自此寒拾相携出松門更不復入寺。閭丘又至寒巖禮謁。送衣服藥物。二士高聲喝之曰。賊賊便縮身入巖石縫中。唯曰。報汝諸人各各努力。其石縫忽然而合。閭丘哀慕令僧道翹尋其遺物。於林間得葉上所書辭頌。及題村墅人家屋壁。共三百餘首傳布人間。曹山本寂禪師注釋謂之對寒山子詩。

Master Hanshan of Tiantai originally had no clan or surname. Seventy li west of Shifeng County were the two crags, Cold Crag (Hanyan) and Bright Crag (Mingyan); he took his name because he resided in Cold Crag. His appearance was withered and emaciated, and his cloth garments were ragged. He wore a birchbark cap and dragged large wooden clogs. From time to time he would come to Guoqing Temple to take the monks' leftover food and vegetable scrapings from Shide and eat them. Sometimes he walked slowly under the corridors; at other times he shouted and railed toward the empty sky. When the temple monks drove him off with staves, he would turn around, clap his hands, laugh loudly, and leave. Although his words sounded mad, they held profound meaning. One day Fenggan said to him, "If you travel with me to Mount Wutai, you are my peer; if you do not go with me, you are not my peer." [Hanshan] said, "I will not go." Fenggan said, "You are not my peer." Hanshan then asked, "What are you going to Mount Wutai to do?" Fenggan said, "I am going to pay homage to Mañjuśrī." [Hanshan] said, "You are not my peer!" After Fenggan passed away, Lord Lüqiu entered the mountain to visit them. Seeing Hanshan and Shide sitting around the hearth talking and laughing, Lüqiu inadvertently made prostrations before them. The two shouted and scolded repeatedly. The temple monks said in shock, "Why does a high official bow to madmen?" Hanshan then seized Lüqiu's hand, laughed, and said, "Fenggan is a blabbermouth!" After a long while, he let go of him. From then on, Hanshan and Shide went hand-in-hand out the pine gate and never entered the temple again. Lüqiu went again to Cold Crag to pay homage, presenting clothing and medicine. The two worthies shouted loudly at him: "Thief! Thief!" and then drew themselves back into a crevice in the crag, saying only, "We tell all of you: make effort, each of you!" The rock crevice suddenly closed together. Mourning and longing for them, Lüqiu ordered the monk Daoqiao to seek out their remaining belongings. In the woods, they found verses inscribed on leaves, as well as poems written on the walls of village cottages, totaling more than three hundred pieces, which were circulated throughout the world. Chan Master Benji of Caoshan wrote a commentary on them, entitled 'Commentary on the Poems of Master Hanshan'.
