12.13

浮槎山福嚴守初禪師。僧問。如何是受用三昧。師曰。拈匙放筯。問如何是正直一路。師曰。踏不著。曰踏著後如何。師曰。四方八面。乃曰。若論此事。放行則曹溪路上月白風清。把定則少室峯前雲收霧卷。如斯語論已涉多途。但由一念相應方信不從人得。大眾且道。從甚麼處得。良久曰。水流元在海月落不離天。上堂。即性之相一亘晴空。即相之性千波競起。若徹來源清流無阻。所以舉一念而塵沙法門頓顯。拈一毫而無邊剎境齊彰。且道文殊普賢在甚麼處。下坡不走快便難逢。便下座。

Chan Master Fuyan Shouchu of Mount Fucha: A monk asked, "What is the enjoyment samādhi?" The master said, "Picking up the spoon and laying down the chopsticks." [The monk] asked, "What is the one straight path?" The master said, "You cannot step on it." [The monk] said, "What about after stepping on it?" The master said, "Four directions and eight quarters." He then said, "Discussing this matter: letting go, then on the road to Caoxi the moon is white and the wind is pure; holding fast, then before the peak of Shaoshi clouds gather and mists roll up. Words and discussions like these have already stepped into many paths. Only through correspondence in a single thought does one finally believe it is not obtained from others. Assembly, tell me, where is it obtained from?" After a long pause, he said, "The flowing water was originally in the ocean; the sinking moon does not leave the sky." He ascended the hall: "The form that is nature is a single span of clear sky; the nature that is form is a thousand waves surging together. If you penetrate to the origin and source, the pure stream is unobstructed. Therefore, bring up a single thought, and Dharma-gates numerous as dust and sand are suddenly revealed; pick up a single fine hair, and boundless kṣetra-realms are all manifested. Tell me, where are Mañjuśrī and Samantabhadra? Running down a slope quickly, such convenience is hard to come by." He then stepped down from the seat.
