title: "指月錄 · 潭州雲盖山志元圓淨禪師"
description: "指月录是明代瞿汝稷编纂的一部重要佛教典籍，成书于万历年间。该书以禅宗公案为核心，收录了从佛祖释迦牟尼到宋代高僧的六百余则禅门语录和典故，系统梳理了禅宗传承脉络。瞿汝稷作为晚明著名居士，以指月为喻，强调文字只是指向真理的工具而非真理本身，体现了禅宗不立文字、直指人心的宗旨。这部著作不仅保存了大量珍贵禅宗史料，更以其精要的选编和独到的评点，成为研究中国禅宗思想发展的重要文献，在佛教史上具有承前启后的地位，至今仍是禅学研究者必读经典。"

### ▲潭州雲盖山志元圓淨禪師

> Chan Master Zhiyuan Yuanjing of Yungai Mountain in Tanzhou

遊方時。問雲居曰。志元不奈何時如何。居曰。祇為闍黎功力不到。師不禮拜。直造石霜。亦如前問。霜曰。非但闍黎。老僧亦不奈何。師曰。和尚為甚麼不奈何。霜曰。老僧若奈何。拈過汝不奈何。師便禮拜。僧問石霜。萬戶俱閉即不問。萬戶俱開時如何。霜曰。堂中事作麼生。僧無對。經半年。始下一轉語曰。無人接得渠。霜曰。道即忒煞道。却祇道得八成。曰和尚又且如何。霜曰。無人識得渠。師知乃禮拜。乞為舉。霜不肯。師乃抱霜上方丈曰。和尚若不道。打和尚去在。霜曰得在。師頻禮拜。霜曰。無人識得渠。師於言下頓省　問。如何是師子。師曰。善哮吼。僧拊掌曰。好手好手。師曰。青天白日。却被鬼迷。僧作掀禪牀勢。師便打。曰驢事未去。馬事到來。師曰。灼然作家。僧拂袖出。師曰。將甌盛水。擬比大洋　僧參。師便作起勢。僧便出。師曰。闍黎且來人事。僧回作抽坐具勢。師却歸方丈。僧曰。蒼天蒼天。師曰。龍頭蛇尾。僧近前叉手立。師曰。敗將投王。不存性命　道吾問。久嚮和尚會禪。是否。師曰。蒼天蒼天。吾近前掩師口曰。低聲低聲。師與一掌。吾曰。蒼天蒼天。師把住曰。得與麼無禮。吾却與一掌。師曰。老僧罪過。吾拂袖便行。師呵呵大笑曰。早知如是。不見如是　師將示寂。三日前。令侍者喚第一座來。師臥出氣一聲。座喚侍者曰。和尚渴。要湯水喫。師乃面壁而臥。臨終令集眾。乃展兩手出舌示之。時第三座曰。諸人和尚舌根硬也。師曰。苦哉苦哉。誠如第三座所言。舌根硬去也。言訖而寂。

> While traveling, he visited Yunju and asked, "What happens when Zhiyuan is at wit's end?" Yunju said, "It's simply because your effort hasn't reached the mark." The master didn't bow and went straight to Shishuang, where he asked the same question. Shishuang said, "Not just you—even this old monk is at wit's end." The master asked, "Why is the Master at wit's end?" Shishuang said, "If this old monk could handle it, I'd take away your helplessness." The master then bowed. A monk asked Shishuang, "I won't ask about when all ten thousand gates are shut—what about when they're all open?" Shishuang said, "What's happening inside the hall?" The monk had no answer. Half a year later, he finally came up with a response: "No one can receive him." Shishuang said, "Your words are fine, but you've only expressed eighty percent." The monk asked, "What would the Master say?" Shishuang said, "No one can recognize him." When the master (Zhiyuan) heard this, he bowed and begged Shishuang to explain. Shishuang refused. The master then grabbed Shishuang and carried him to the abbot's quarters, saying, "If the Master won't speak, I'll hit you." Shishuang said, "Fine." The master bowed repeatedly. Shishuang said, "No one can recognize him." At these words, the master was suddenly awakened. A monk asked, "What is a lion?" The master said, "Good at roaring." The monk clapped and said, "Excellent! Excellent!" The master said, "In broad daylight, yet you're fooled by a ghost." The monk made a gesture of overturning the meditation bench. The master struck him and said, "The donkey business isn't done, and the horse business arrives." The master said, "Clearly a true adept." The monk flicked his sleeves and left. The master said, "Filling a cup with water, trying to compare it to the great ocean." A monk came to pay respects. The master made a gesture of rising. The monk left. The master said, "Come back here for courtesy." The monk returned, making a gesture of pulling out his sitting mat. The master went back to the abbot's quarters. The monk said, "Heavens! Heavens!" The master said, "A dragon's head, a snake's tail." The monk stepped forward, hands clasped, and stood. The master said, "A defeated general surrendering to a king—no regard for his own life." Daowu asked, "I've long heard the Master understands Chan—is that true?" The master said, "Heavens! Heavens!" Daowu stepped forward, covered the master's mouth, and said, "Lower your voice, lower your voice." The master gave him a slap. Daowu said, "Heavens! Heavens!" The master grabbed him and said, "How can you be so rude?" Daowu slapped him back. The master said, "This old monk's fault." Daowu flicked his sleeves and left. The master laughed heartily and said, "Had I known it would come to this, I wouldn't have seen it this way." Three days before the master's passing, he had his attendant summon the head monk. The master lay down and let out a breath. The head monk called to the attendant, "The Master is thirsty—bring him some hot water." The master then turned to face the wall and lay down. At the end, he gathered the assembly, stretched out both hands, and stuck out his tongue. At that moment, the third seat said, "Everyone, the Master's tongue has grown stiff." The master said, "How bitter, how bitter! Truly as the third seat said—my tongue has grown stiff." With those words, he passed away.
