福州西禪此菴守淨禪師。本州人。上堂。談玄說妙撒屎撒尿。行棒行喝將鹽止渴。立主立賓華擘宗乘。設或總不恁麼。又是鬼窟裏坐。到這裏山僧已是打退鼓。且道諸人尋常心憤憤口悱悱合作麼生。莫將閑學解。埋沒祖師心。上堂。若也單明自己不悟目前。此人有眼無足。若也秖悟目前不明自己。此人有足無眼。直得眼足相資。如車二輪如鳥二翼。正好勘過了打。上堂。九夏炎炎大熱木人汗流不輟。夜來一雨便涼。莫道山僧不說。以拂子擊禪床下座。上堂。若欲正提綱。直須大地荒。欲來衝雪刃。未免露鋒鋩。當恁麼時釋迦老子出頭不得即不問。爾諸人秖如馬鐙裏藏身又作麼生話會。上堂。道是常道心是常心。汝等諸人聞山僧恁麼道。便道我會也。大盡三十日小盡二十九。頭上是天脚下是地。耳裏聞聲鼻裏出氣。忽若四大海水在汝頭上。毒蛇穿爾眼睛。蝦蟇入爾鼻孔。又作麼生。上堂。文殊普賢談理事。臨濟德山行棒喝。東禪一覺到天明。偏愛風從涼處發。咄。上堂。善鬪者不顧其首。善戰者必獲其功。其功既獲坐致太平。太平既致高枕無憂。罷拈三尺劍。休弄一張弓。歸馬于華山之陽。放牛于桃林之野。風以時而雨以時。漁父歌而樵人舞。雖然如是。堯舜之君猶有化在。爭似乾坤收不得。堯舜不知名。渾家不管興亡事偏愛和雲占洞庭。上堂。閉却口時時說。截却舌無間歇。無間歇最奇絕。最奇絕眼中屑。既是奇絕為甚麼却成眼中屑。了了了時無可了。玄玄玄處亦須呵。上堂。佛祖頂𩕳上。有潑天大路。未透生死關。如何敢進步。不進步。大千沒遮護。一句絕言詮。那吒擎鐵柱。開堂拈香罷就座。南堂和尚白槌曰。法筵龍象眾當觀第一義。師隨聲便喝曰。此是第幾義。久參先德已辨來端。後學有疑不妨請問。僧問。阿難問迦葉。世尊傳金襴外別傳何物。迦葉喚阿難。阿難應喏。未審此意如何。師曰。切忌動著。曰秖如迦葉道倒却門前剎竿著。又作麼生。師曰。石牛橫古路。曰秖如和尚於佛日處還有這箇消息也無。師曰。無這箇消息。曰爭奈定光金地遙招手。智者江陵暗點頭。師曰。莫將庭際柏。輕比路傍嵩。僧禮拜。師乃曰。定光金地遙招手。智者江陵暗點頭。已是白雲千萬里。那堪於此未知休。設或於此便休去。一場狼藉不少。還有檢點得出者麼。如無山僧今日失利。僧問。佛佛授手祖祖相傳未審傳箇甚麼。師曰。速禮三拜。問不施寸刃請師相見。師曰。逢強即弱。曰何得埋兵掉鬪。師曰。秖為闍𪏭寸刃不施。曰未審向上還有事也無。師曰有。曰如何是向上事。師曰。敗將不斬。問古佛堂前甚麼人先到。師曰。無眼村翁。曰未審如何趣向。師曰。楖栗橫擔。

> Chan Master Ciyan Shoujing of Xichan in Fuzhou was a native of this prefecture. Ascending the hall, he said: "Talking of the profound and speaking of the wondrous is voiding excrement and pissing urine. Applying the stick and applying shouts is drinking salt to stop thirst. Establishing the host and establishing the guest is taking an axe to the ancestral vehicle. Even if none of this is so, it is again sitting in a ghost cave. Arriving here, this mountain monk has already beaten the retreat drum. Tell me, how should everyone commonly bring about this pent-up mind and stammering mouth? Do not take idle scholarly understanding and bury the Patriarch's mind." Ascending the hall: "If one only clarifies oneself and does not awaken to what is before one's eyes, this person has eyes but no feet. If one only awakens to what is before one's eyes and does not clarify oneself, this person has feet but no eyes. When eyes and feet support each other, like two wheels of a carriage or two wings of a bird, it is just the right time to examine thoroughly and strike!" Ascending the hall: "In the sweltering heat of the ninety days of summer, the wooden man's sweat flows without ceasing. A single night's rain brings coolness—do not say this mountain monk did not speak!" Striking the Chan bed with his whisk, he descended from the seat. Ascending the hall: "If you wish to properly raise the main cord, the great earth must become desolate. Coming to charge the snow-white blade, inevitably the sharp edge is revealed. At such a time, Old Śākya's inability to show his head is set aside. How do all of you understand concealing the body within the stirrup?" Ascending the hall: "The Way is the ordinary Way; the mind is the ordinary mind. When all of you hear this mountain monk speak thus, you immediately say, 'I understand! A long month has thirty days; a short month has twenty-nine. Above the head is heaven; beneath the feet is earth. Ears hear sounds; nostrils emit breath.' But if the waters of the four great oceans were suddenly upon your heads, poisonous snakes bored through your eyes, and toads entered your nostrils, what then?" Ascending the hall: "Mañjuśrī and Samantabhadra discourse on principle and phenomena; Linji and Deshan wield the stick and the shout. Dongchan sleeps soundly till dawn, especially fond of the wind rising from a cool place. Bah!" Ascending the hall: "One skilled in fighting takes no heed of his head; one skilled in battle surely achieves success. Success once achieved, peace is brought about through inaction. Peace once brought about, one sleeps soundly without anxiety. Lay aside the three-foot sword; cease drawing the single bow. Return the horses to the sunny side of Mount Hua; release the cattle into the wilds of the Peach Forest. The wind arrives in season, and rain arrives in season; the fisherman sings and the woodcutter dances. Even so: though the lords Yao and Shun still exerted their transforming influence, how could that compare to heaven and earth being unable to encompass \[one\], and Yao and Shun not knowing \[one's\] name? The whole family pays no heed to rising and falling, especially fond of taking possession of Dongting along with the clouds." Ascending the hall: "Shutting the mouth, yet speaking at all times; severing the tongue, yet without cessation. Without cessation is most extraordinary; most extraordinary is dust in the eye. Since it is extraordinary, why does it turn into dust in the eye? When fully and thoroughly understood, there is nothing to understand; where it is profound, profound, and profound, it must also be berated." Ascending the hall: "Atop the crown of the Buddhas and Patriarchs lies a road wide as the open sky. Before breaking through the barrier of birth and death, how dare one take a step forward? If one does not take a step forward, the great chiliocosm is without protection. A single phrase transcends verbal explanation: Nata holds up the iron pillar." Having opened the hall and offered incense, he sat down. Upādhyāya Nantang struck the mallet and said: "The assembly of dragons and elephants at the Dharma banquet should observe the foremost principle!" The Master shouted in response to the voice and said: "Which principle is this? Senior adepts of long practice have already discerned where it came from; junior students with doubts need not hesitate to ask." A monk asked: "Ānanda asked Kāśyapa: 'Apart from transmitting the golden brocade robe, what else did the Bhagavat transmit?' Kāśyapa called out, 'Ānanda!' and Ānanda answered, 'Yes!' What is the meaning of this?" The Master said: "Take great care not to stir." The monk asked: "What about when Kāśyapa said: 'Knock down the flagpole in front of the gate'?" The Master said: "A stone ox lies across the ancient road." The monk said: "Did the Upādhyāya also have this message at the place of Furi?" The Master said: "I have no such message." The monk said: "What can be done about Dīpaṅkara beckoning from afar in the Golden Land, and Zhiyi nodding in secret at Jiangling?" The Master said: "Do not lightly compare the cypress in the courtyard to the mugwort beside the road." The monk bowed. The Master then said: "Dīpaṅkara beckoning from afar in the Golden Land, and Zhiyi nodding in secret at Jiangling, are already ten million leagues of white clouds. How could one not know to stop here? Even if one stops right here, it is no small mess. Is there anyone who can check and discern it? If not, this mountain monk suffers a defeat today." A monk asked: "Buddha to Buddha lends a hand; Patriarch to Patriarch transmits. What do they transmit?" The Master said: "Quickly make three prostrations!" The monk asked: "Without using an inch of blade, I invite the Master to meet." The Master said: "Meeting the strong, one becomes weak." The monk said: "Why conceal soldiers and provoke a fight?" The Master said: "Just because the Ācārya does not use an inch of blade." The monk said: "Is there still something higher above?" The Master said: "There is." The monk said: "What is the matter higher above?" The Master said: "A defeated general is not beheaded." The monk asked: "Who arrives first before the hall of ancient Buddhas?" The Master said: "A blind old village man." The monk asked: "How should one proceed toward it?" The Master said: "Carrying a staff horizontally across the shoulders."
