### No. 1271-B普明寺牧牛圖頌序

> Preface to the Praising of the Ox-Herding Pictures at Puming Temple

咄。盡大地是普明一頭牛。何處更有佛與眾生。毫厘不隔。本是如如。若道此牛有黑有白。有雄有雌。有饑有飽。便是一體分別成二。世尊初生。指天指地。周行目顧。犯人苗稼不少。祖師西來。直指人心。見性成佛。喫他水草良多。三玄要．四料揀．五位君臣．九十六圓相。受盡牽制鞭䇿。乃至拈椎竪拂。行棒行喝。種種機用。皮毛脫落。四足潛踪。許大一頭牛。不知逃向那裡去了。到這裡地。重關已破。且道向上還有事麼。以拂子打圓相云。火裡木牛耕白雪。雲中石馬舞春風。會麼。不會。請看牧牛頌并諸方次韻語句。畢竟還有優劣也無。

> Ha! The entire earth is nothing but Puming's single ox. Where else could there be Buddhas or sentient beings? Not a hair's breadth separates them—fundamentally all is thusness. If you say this ox has black or white, male or female, hungry or full, that is splitting one body into two. When the World-Honored One was born, he pointed to heaven and earth, walked seven steps, and looked around—he trampled quite a few of people's seedlings. When the Patriarch came from the West, he directly pointed to the mind, saying seeing one's nature achieves Buddhahood—he consumed much water and grass indeed. The Three Mysteries and Essentials, the Fourfold Distinctions, the Five Ranks of Lord and Subject, the Ninety-six Circular Symbols—they all endured restraint and the whip. Even raising the mallet and holding up the whisk, striking with staff and shouting, all kinds of skillful means—the fur and skin fell away, the four legs vanished from sight. Such a huge ox—where has it fled to? At this point, the heavy barrier has been broken through. But tell me, is there anything further beyond this? He drew a circle with the whisk and said: "A wooden ox plows white snow in fire; a stone horse dances in the spring wind among clouds." Do you understand? If not, please look at the Ox-Herding Verses and the matching verses from various masters. After all, is there any difference in quality between them?
