23.38

安州應城壽寧道完禪師。僧問。雲從龍風從虎。未審和尚從箇甚麼。師曰。一字空中畫。曰得甚麼奇特。師曰。千手大悲提不起。問十方國土中唯有一乘法。如何是一乘法。師曰。斗量不盡。曰恁麼則動容揚古路不墮悄然機。師曰。作麼生是悄然機。僧舉頭看。師舉起拂子。僧喝一喝。師曰。大好悄然。上堂。古人見此月。今人見此月。此月鎮長存。古今人不別。若人心似月。碧潭光皎潔。決定是心源。此說更無說。咄。上堂。諸禪德。三冬告盡臘月將臨三十夜。作麼生秖準。良久曰。衣穿瘦骨露屋破看星眠。

Chan Master Daowan of Shouning in Yingcheng, Anzhou. A monk asked, 'Clouds follow the dragon, wind follows the tiger; as yet I do not know, what does the Upādhyāya follow?' The master said, 'Drawing a single character in the open sky.' The monk said, 'What extraordinary thing is obtained?' The master said, 'The Great Compassionate One with a Thousand Hands cannot lift it.' A monk asked, '"In the lands of the ten directions there is only the Dharma of the One Vehicle." What is the Dharma of the One Vehicle?' The master said, 'A bushel cannot measure it to the end.' The monk said, 'If so, then "moving with deportment illuminates the ancient path, not falling into silent mechanics."' The master said, 'What are silent mechanics?' The monk lifted his head to look. The master held up his whisk. The monk gave a shout. The master said, 'Splendidly silent!' Ascending the hall, he said, 'Ancient people saw this moon; / People of today see this moon. / This moon endures forever; / Ancient and modern people are no different. / If a person's mind is like the moon, / The blue pool's light is bright and pure. / It is definitely the mind's source; / Beyond this explanation there is no explanation. / Bah!' Ascending the hall, he said, 'Chan worthies! The three months of winter have come to an end, and the thirtieth night of the twelfth month is about to arrive. How will you prepare for it?' After a good while, he said, 'Robes torn, emaciated bones exposed; / Roof broken, watching the stars to sleep.'
