### ○嘉興廣德東海德湧禪師

> Zen Master Deyong of Guangde Donghai in Jiaxing

族出廣東馮氏。生十三歲便知有出世大事因緣。十九歲僧于曹溪南華。决志參方。首謁贛州馬祖巖徹庵見即器異之。次見智者無涯際華頂無見覩皆有所啟發。然猶以為未了。聞原翁喝道吳興之天池。不憚數千里之遠直造其門。適機緣相契。向之所未明者一旦而廓然矣。時虗谷主徑山。師為掌內記。及元叟繼席。又掌外記。悉有聲稱。第孳孳以道為務。世俗文筆隨時應酬非其好也。自是道風遠揚。四方參請之士隨處󱞗至。却之不能去。廼結廬嘉禾之曹奧。即廣德也。大開法席陶冶後昆。逾五十年。登其門者多獲趣證。上堂。一向不恁麼孤峰獨宿目視雲漢不順人情。一向恁麼十字街頭灰頭土面世諦流布。恁麼中不恁麼。不恁麼中却恁麼。懸崖撒手從空放下隨處自在。是處安間本無生滅。豈有去來放大光明高低普應。到這裏始知居一切時不起妄念。於諸妄心亦不息滅。住妄想境不加了知。於無了知不辨真實。與諸佛同一受用。其或未然。有寒暑兮促汝壽。有鬼神兮妬汝福。上堂。寂光圓照周沙界。體用如如絕古今。直下不生凡聖解。鵓鳩啼在綠楊陰。上堂。動則影現。覺則氷生。不動不覺死水平沉。既動既覺未免傷鋒犯手。正恁麼時如何舉唱。驀拈拄杖卓一下云。依稀苕菷柄。彷彿赤斑虵。洪武元年十二月初一日入寂。

> The master was born into the Feng family in Guangdong. At thirteen, he already knew of the great matter of transcending the world. At nineteen, he became a monk at Nanhua Temple in Caoxi. He resolved to seek out teachers far and wide. First, he visited Master Che'an of Mazuyan in Ganzhou, who recognized his exceptional potential at first sight. Next, he studied under Wuyai of the Zhizhe lineage and Wujian of the Huading, drawing inspiration from both. Yet he felt his understanding was still incomplete. Hearing that Elder Yuan was preaching at Tianchi in Wuxing, he traveled thousands of miles to reach his gate. When their minds met in perfect resonance, all that had been unclear before suddenly opened up in a single moment. At that time, Xugu was the abbot of Jingshan, and the master served as his personal secretary. When Yuansou took over the abbotship, the master served as his secretary as well, earning praise in both roles. He devoted himself tirelessly to the Dharma, finding little interest in worldly writing, though he engaged in it when circumstances required. From then on, his reputation spread far and wide, and seekers of truth gathered wherever he went. Try as he might to decline them, they would not leave. So he built a hut at Cao'ao in Jiahe, which is now Guangde, and opened wide his Dharma seat to nurture future generations. For over fifty years, many who entered his gates attained realization. One sermon he gave: "If we never engage with things as they are, we sit alone on a solitary peak, gazing at the stars, indifferent to human feeling. If we always engage with things as they are, we stand at busy crossroads, face covered in dust, flowing with worldly conventions. In engagement there is non-engagement. In non-engagement there is engagement. Let go from the cliff's edge, release and fall freely from empty space—at ease anywhere, peaceful in any place. Originally there is no birth or death, so how could there be coming or going? Radiance shines everywhere, responding to all equally. When you reach this point, you realize one can abide in all times without giving rise to deluded thoughts. Toward all deluded minds, one neither extinguishes them. Dwelling in the realm of delusion, one adds no conceptual knowledge. In the absence of such knowledge, one neither distinguishes nor seeks the real. One shares the same enjoyment as all Buddhas. If you have not yet realized this—know that heat and cold hasten your years, and ghosts and spirits envy your good fortune." Another sermon: "The serene light illuminates perfectly, filling worlds as numerous as grains of sand. Substance and function are thus-as-are, beyond past and present. Directly, without giving rise to thoughts of ordinary or sage—the turtledove calls in the shade of green willows." Another: "When stirred, shadows appear. When aware, ice forms. Unstirred and unaware, one sinks like dead water. Stirred and aware, one inevitably wounds the blade and offends the hand. At such a moment, how does one expound? He suddenly raised his staff and struck it once, saying, "Vaguely like a broom handle, faintly like a red-speckled snake." He entered stillness on the first day of the twelfth month in the first year of the Hongwu era.
