29.11

隆興府泐潭擇明禪師。上堂舉趙州訪茱萸探水因緣。師曰。趙老雲收山嶽露茱萸雨過竹風清。誰家別館池塘裏。一對鴛鴦畫不成。又舉德山托鉢話。師曰。從來家富小兒嬌。偏向江頭弄畫橈。引得老爺把不住。又來船上助歌謠。上堂。永嘉道。一月普現一切水。一切水月一月攝。竪起拂子云。看看千江競注萬派爭流。若也素善行舟便諳水脈。可以優游性海笑傲煙波。其或未然。且歸林下坐更待月明時。

Chan Master Zeming of Letan in Longxing Prefecture ascended the hall and cited the nidāna of Zhaozhou visiting Zhuyu to probe the water. The Master said, "Old Zhao's clouds gather, the mountain peaks appear; Zhuyu's rain clears, the bamboo breeze is pure. In whose other villa's pond could a pair of mandarin ducks fail to be painted?" He also cited Deshan carrying his bowl. The Master said, "From the start, the child of a wealthy house is pampered, leaning especially toward the river to play with the painted oar. Inducing the old father beyond control, he too comes aboard the boat to join in the singing." Ascending the hall: "Yongjia said, 'One moon appears universally in all waters; all waters' moons are gathered into one moon.'" Raising his whisk, he said, "Look, look! A thousand rivers compete in pouring, ten thousand streams vie in flowing. If you are already skilled at navigating a boat and understand the water's veins, you can leisurely roam the ocean of nature and laugh proudly among the misty waves. If this is not yet so, return for now to sit beneath the forest and wait further for when the moon is bright."
