### 蘄州四祖仲宣禪師

> Master Zhongxuan of Sizhou's Fourth Ancestor

上堂。諸佛出世。為一大事因緣。祖師西來。直指人心是佛。凡聖本來不二。迷悟豈有殊途。非涅槃之可欣。非死生之可厭。但能一言了悟。不起坐而即證無生。一念回光。不舉步而徧周沙界。如斯要徑。引曰宗門。山僧既到這裏。不可徒然。乃舉拂子曰。看看。山河大地。日月星辰。若凡若聖。是人是物。盡在拂子頭上一毛端裏出入遊戲。諸人還見麼。設或便向這裏見得倜儻分明。更須知有向上一路。試問諸人。作麼生是向上一路。良久曰。六月長天降大雪。三冬嶺上火雲飛。

> The master ascended the hall and said: "When all Buddhas appeared in the world, it was for one great cause. When the patriarchs came from the West, they pointed directly to the mind, saying that it is Buddha. Ordinary beings and sages have never been separate from the beginning. How could delusion and enlightenment follow different paths? There is no Nirvana to delight in, nor birth-and-death to disdain. If one can awaken through a single phrase, without rising from sitting, one directly realizes birthlessness. With a single thought turning the light within, without taking a step, one pervades worlds as numerous as grains of sand. Such a vital path is called the Zen School. Since this mountain monk has arrived here, I must not do so in vain." Then he raised the whisk and said: "Look, look! Mountains, rivers, the great earth, sun, moon, and stars—whether ordinary or sage, whether human or thing—all enter and play freely on the tip of a single hair on this whisk. Do you all see this? If you can see it clearly and vividly right here, you must still know there is a path that goes upward. Let me ask you all: what is the upward path?" After a long pause, he said: "In the sixth month, snow falls from the vast sky; in the dead of winter, fiery clouds soar above the peaks."
