16.22

大庾嶺雲峯寺道圓禪師。南雄州人。性純至少游方。雖飽參而未大透徹。聞南禪師在黃蘗積翠菴往依之。一日燕坐下板。聞兩僧舉百丈野狐因緣。一僧云。只如不昧因果。也未脫得野狐身。一僧應聲云。便是不落因果也。亦何曾墮野狐身耶。師聞其語悚然異之。不自覺其身之起意行。上菴頭過㵎忽大悟。見南公敘其事。未終涕淚交頤。南公令就侍者榻熟寐。忽起作偈曰。因果不落不昧。僧俗本無忌諱。丈夫氣宇如王。爭受囊藏被蓋。一條楖𣗖任縱橫。野狐跳入金毛隊。南公見之大笑久之。又作風幡偈曰。不是風兮不是幡。白雲依舊覆青山。年來老大渾無力。偷得忙中些少閒。真淨文禪師大稱賞之。以為機鋒不減英邵武。嘗手書此二偈云。師晚年住大庾雲峯寺。

Chan Master Daoyuan of Yunfeng Temple on Mount Dayuling was a native of Nanxiong Prefecture. By nature pure, he traveled as an itinerant monk from an early age. Although he had practiced extensively, he had not yet penetrated thoroughly. Hearing that Chan Master [Huanglong Huinan] was staying at Jicui Hermitage on Mount Huangbo, he went to rely on him. One day, while quietly sitting after the boards had been struck, he heard two monks bringing up Baizhang's nidāna of the wild fox. One monk said, 'Even not obscuring cause and effect still did not escape the body of a wild fox.' The other monk replied, 'Even not falling into cause and effect, when did he ever fall into the body of a wild fox?' Hearing their words, the master was astounded and struck by their wonder. Without realizing his body rising, his mind walked forward. Going up to the hermitage and crossing a mountain stream, he suddenly had a great awakening. He went to see Master Nan and recounted the event. Before he had finished, tears streamed down his cheeks. Master Nan had him sleep soundly on an attendant's couch. Suddenly getting up, he composed a verse, saying: / 'Cause and effect: neither falling into nor obscuring; / Between monk and layperson, there is fundamentally no taboo. / A great man's mettle is like a king's; / How could he tolerate being hidden in a bag or covered under a quilt? / With a single staff, free to go horizontally and vertically, / The wild fox leaps into the golden-maned pride.' / Master Nan saw it and laughed heartily for a long time. Daoyuan also composed a verse on the wind and banner, saying: / 'It is not the wind, nor is it the banner; / The white clouds, as of old, cover the blue mountain. / In recent years, growing old, I have completely lost my strength; / Stealing a little leisure amidst the bustle.' / Chan Master Zhenjing Wen praised it greatly, considering that his sharp responsiveness was no less than that of Ying of Shaowu. He once wrote down these two verses with his own hand. In his later years, the master resided at Yunfeng Temple on Mount Dayuling.
