### [13.10](https://indike.org/pramana/in.bauddha.taisho.2077.13.10)

衡州茶陵縣郁山主。本州人自少落髮。惟以應供為事。院居諸禪剎往來之衝。每有化主至師必供養之。一日因楊岐化主至。師問以禪宗之旨。化主為舉。和尚每問衲子。僧問法燈。百尺竿頭如何進步。法燈云噁。師從此參究未嘗離念。偶一日赴外請。騎蹇驢過溪橋。驢踏橋穿陷足。師墜驢不覺口中曰噁。忽然契悟。有頌曰。我有神珠一顆。久被塵勞羈鎖。今朝塵盡光生。照見青山萬朵。走謁楊岐。楊岐即印可。師乃白雲守端落髮之師也。端悟道因緣已具端傳。端後出世住九江承天。贊師像曰。水月以喻兮古來已多。我今不然兮所陳伊何。百尺竿頭曾進步。溪橋一踏沒山河。顧不游方兮何游之有。玄沙保壽兮師其與偶。應峯之東兮洣川之口。三十三秋兮大師子吼。舒兮捲兮已而矣。依前空瀉洣川水。九江相去幾千里。父有重牙子無齒。謾勞提耳一爐香。微煙旋逐松風起。

> Hereditary Abbot Yu of Chaling County in Hengzhou was a native of that prefecture. He shaved his head in his youth, and devoted himself solely to attending to offerings. His cloister was located at a thoroughfare frequented by various Chan monasteries; whenever a fund-raising monk arrived, the master was sure to make offerings to him. One day, a fund-raising monk from Yangqi arrived. The master asked him about the essential tenets of the Chan lineage. The fund-raising monk cited for him: 'The Upādhyāya \[Yangqi\] always asks the patch-robed monks: A monk asked Fadeng, "How does one take a step from the top of a hundred-foot pole?" Fadeng said, "Eh!"' From this, the master investigated and contemplated it, never parting from the thought. One day, he happened to go to attend an outside invitation, riding a lame donkey across a stream bridge. The donkey stepped through the bridge, catching its hoof. The master fell from the donkey, and without realizing it, cried out from his mouth, 'Eh!' Suddenly he had an awakening. He composed a verse: 'I have a single spiritual jewel, / Long bound and locked by the toil of defilements. / This morning the dust is exhausted and light is born, / Illumining ten thousand peaks of green mountains.' He rushed to visit Yangqi, and Yangqi immediately gave him the seal of approval. The master was the tonsure master of Baiyun Shouduan. The circumstances of Duan's awakening to the Way are already detailed in Duan's biography. Later, Duan emerged in the world to reside at Chengtian in Jiujiang. He praised the master's portrait, saying: 'Similes of the water and the moon—since ancient times they have been many! / I am not like that today—what is it that I declare? / From the top of a hundred-foot pole he once took a step; / With one tread on the stream bridge, mountains and rivers vanished. / He did not travel to different regions—what traveling could there be? / Xuansha and Baoshou—the master is their peer! / East of Yingfeng Peak, at the mouth of the Mi River, / For thirty-three autumns he roared the Great Lion's Roar! / Expanding, contracting—and now it is over! / As before, in vain pour the waters of the Mi River. / Several thousand li separate this from Jiujiang; / The father has double teeth, but the son has no teeth. / Idly laboring to tug the ears before a single incense brazier, / The faint smoke circles and follows the pine wind as it rises.'
