4.6

蘇州洞庭翠峯慧月禪師。僧問。一花開五葉結果自然成時如何。師曰。脫却籠頭卸却角馱。曰拶出虛空去。處處盡聞香。師曰。雲愁聞鬼哭。雪壓髑髏吟。問和尚未見谷隱時一句作麼生道。師曰。步步登山遠。曰見後如何。師曰。驅驅信馬蹄。

Chan Master Huiyue of Cuifeng in Dongting, Suzhou. A monk asked, "What is it like when 'a single flower opens five petals, and the bearing of fruit forms naturally'?" The Master said, "Taking off the halter and unloading the pack." The monk said, "Squeezed out into empty space, everywhere the fragrance is smelled." The Master said, "Clouds grieve hearing ghosts weep; snow presses down on the chanting skull." A monk asked, "How would you express a phrase from before the Upādhyāya saw Guyin?" The Master said, "Step by step, ascending the mountain farther and farther." The monk asked, "What about after seeing him?" The Master said, "Galloping on, trusting the horse's hooves."
