### 平江府開元禪寺語錄

> Kaiyuan Zen Monastery Discourse of Pingjiang Prefecture

侍者　普覺　錄

> Attendant Pujue Recorded

陞座。祝　聖罷問答不錄乃云。大道只在目前。要且目前難覩。欲識大道真體。不離聲色言語。拂子擊禪牀云。這箇是聲。豎拂子云。這箇是色。喚什麼作大道。長將日月為天眼。指出須彌作壽山。　復舉三聖道逢人則出出則不為人。興化道逢人則不出出則便為人。師云。且道開元為人即是不為人即是。大事管你不得。小事各自擔當。

> Ascending the hall, the master led the congregation in celebrating the sacred blessings — the exchanges in question and answer are not recorded. Then he said: The great Way is right before your eyes, yet right before your eyes it's hard to see. If you want to know the true body of the great Way, it never departs from sounds, forms, and words. Tapping the meditation seat with his whisk, he said: This is sound. Raising the whisk, he said: This is form. What do you call the great Way? Constantly using sun and moon as the eye of heaven, pointing out Mount Sumeru as the mountain of longevity. He then cited the examples of San Sheng who said, "When encountering people, one goes forth; having gone forth, one does not act for others." And Xing Hua who said, "When encountering people, one does not go forth; having gone forth, one acts for others." The master said: Tell me, does Kaiyuan act for others or not act for others? The great matter is not something you can manage. The small matters are each one's own responsibility.

上堂。動絃別曲。葉落知秋。禾山打鼓。雪峰輥毬。睦州擔板。投子提油。趙州狗子。溈山牯牛。青原垂足。俱胝指頭。一隊破落戶。各自逞風流。若到開元門下。打教棒折未休。何故。豈不見道重賞之下必有勇夫。

> The master took the pulpit and said: "When the strings move, a different tune arises. When leaves fall, autumn is known. Heshan beats the drum; Xuefeng rolls the ball. Muzhou carries a board; Touzi holds oil. Zhaozhou speaks of the dog; Guishan points to the buffalo. Qingyuan lets down his foot; Juzhi raises his finger. A bunch of run-down households—each flaunts their own style. But if they came before Kaiyuan's gate, they’d be beaten with a stick until it breaks, and still not stop. Why? Haven’t you heard it said: 'Under a heavy reward, there will surely be a brave one'?"

解夏上堂。布袋頭開今日始。滿目江山秋色裏。驀然踏斷艸鞋跟。元來却是自家底。

> The summer retreat has ended, and today the abbot addresses the assembly: The cloth bag's opening begins today— Before my eyes, the autumn colors fill the rivers and hills. Suddenly, the straw sandal's heel breaks— And I realize it was all my own after all.

上堂。信脚行去絕埃塵。信手拈來用得親。信口道出驚天地。信心悟入獨超羣。直饒恁麼。正好來山僧處喫痛棒。何故。要識真金火裏看。

> Ascending the hall, the master said: "Walk with faith, and the dust of the world falls away. Pick up with faith, and your hands work with true intimacy. Speak with faith, and your words shake heaven and earth. Awaken with faith, and you stand alone beyond the crowd." Even if you can do all this, it would still be fitting for you to come to this mountain monk for a beating. Why? Because true gold is tested in the fire.

冬至上堂。陰極陽生。日添一線。拈拄杖。獨有山僧拄杖子。不屬陰陽遷變。卓杖一下。

> On the winter solstice, the master ascended the hall and said: "When yin reaches its extreme, yang is born; each day the sunlight grows by a thread." He then picked up his staff and continued: "Only this monk's staff here does not belong to the shifting of yin and yang." He struck the ground once with the staff.

上堂。舉僧問香林如何是衲衣下事。林云臘月火燒山。今日忽有人問開元如何是衲衣下事。只向他道但得雪消去。自然春到來。

> The master ascended the hall and cited this: A monk asked Xianglin, "What is the matter under the monk's robe?" Xianglin answered, "In the twelfth month, fire burns the mountain." If someone today asked Kaiyuan, "What is the matter under the monk's robe?" I would just reply: "Once the snow melts away, spring naturally arrives."

元正上堂。昨日去年去。今朝今歲來。去年去不去。今歲來不來。且道不涉去來一句又作麼生。樓上已吹新歲角。堂前猶點舊年燈。

> Yuan Zheng ascended the hall and said: "Yesterday, the past year departed. This morning, the present year arrives. Did the past year truly depart? Does the present year truly arrive? Tell me—how do you speak a single phrase that transcends coming and going? Already from the tower, the horn of the new year sounds; before the hall, the lamp of the old year still burns."

觀音生日上堂。現種種形。說種種法。形法皆非。假名菩薩。更於諸相覔圓通。當人正眼俱戳瞎。

> On the occasion of Guanyin's birthday, the master ascended the hall and said: "Manifesting various forms and expounding various teachings—yet both forms and teachings are ultimately empty; they are merely the provisional name 'Bodhisattva.' If you further seek perfect penetration through any of these forms, you will only blind the true eye that is inherent in every person."

四月八上堂。咄這乾屎橛。生來太妖孽。堪咲老雲門。一棒打不殺。開元雖是賊過後張弓。要將惡水驀頭潑。

> On the eighth day of the fourth month, the master ascended the hall and said, "Hah! This dry piece of dung—how troublemaking from birth! Laughable, old Yunmen—one blow couldn't kill it. Kaiyuan, though you may be drawing the bow after the thief has passed, you should still throw foul water right over the head."

上堂。衲僧今日路頭通。拄杖生雲興已濃。要探江湖深與淺。前途更有玅高峰。

> The master ascended the hall and said: "Today the path for monks is open wide. My staff rises with clouds, stirring deep inspiration. To fathom the depths of rivers and lakes, the road ahead holds yet another mystic peak."

謝靈巖和尚上堂。開爐半月。火種全無。冷灰豆𪹼。驚動江湖。且道以何為驗。銅像大士低頭問訊。智積菩薩稽首擎拳。

> Master Xie Lingyan addressed the assembly: "Half a month has passed since the furnace was lit, yet no fire has ever appeared. Cold ashes and bean-sized embers—yet they startle the rivers and lakes. How is this proven? The bronze Avalokitesvara bows and pays respects. The Bodhisattva Zhiji, with palms pressed together, raises a fist in reverence."

燕國夫人忌上堂。燕國當年植福田。身如水月印三千。渠無生死歸何處。春早梅華放曉烟。

> For the Memorial Day of Lady Yan of the State of Yan, the Master ascended the hall and said: "In the days of Yan, she planted fields of blessings, Her body like water-moon, reflecting across the three thousand realms. Since she has no birth or death, where does she return? In early spring, plum blossoms bloom in the morning mist."
