16.21

潭州寶蓋山子勤禪師。僧問。師今已唱胡家曲。更將何法。示來徒。師曰。一字兩頭垂。僧云。威光分此夜照用出何門。師曰。頭上光明炟𦮰。脚下黑漆[(共-八+冉)*頁]頇。僧云。入水見長人。師曰。傍觀者醜。上堂曰。溪山雖異雲月是同。順應方圓任自西東。大眾。法不離色響不離聲。到這裏明明聲色顯露如何透得。還有透得底麼。良久曰。鐘鳴鼓響相交應。青山不礙白雲飛。

Chan Master Ziqin of Mount Baogaishan in Tanzhou. A monk asked, 'Now that the Master has already sung the foreign tune, with what Dharma will you further instruct future followers?' The Master said, 'One character hanging down at both ends.' The monk said, 'Majestic radiance divides this night; from what gate do illumination and function emerge?' The Master said, 'Above the head, the bright light blazes; beneath the feet, pitch-black darkness.' The monk said, 'Entering the water, one sees the tall person.' The Master said, 'The bystander is ugly.' Ascending the hall, he said, 'Though streams and mountains differ, clouds and moon are the same. Adapting to the square and round, freely going west or east. Assembly! Phenomena are not separate from form; resonance is not separate from sound. Arriving here, forms and sounds are clearly manifest—how do you penetrate them? Is there anyone who penetrates them?' After a long pause, he said, 'The bell sounds and the drum echoes, answering one another; / The green mountain does not hinder the flight of the white clouds.'
