description: "西巖了慧禪師語錄由南宋臨濟宗僧西巖了慧的門人修義、景元、宗清、繼燖、宗應等編撰。了慧禪師師承無準師範，活躍於十三世紀中葉。該語錄收錄其上堂法語、機鋒對答、偈頌及書信，集中體現其禪法思想，強調直指人心、見性成佛的臨濟宗風。作為宋代禪宗語錄的重要文獻，它不僅是研究了慧禪師及南宋禪宗思想的第一手資料，也是了解當時禪宗發展與傳承的權威典籍，在佛教史上具有重要地位。"

### 示鑑上人自徑山來

> Venerable Shijian <note>who came from Jingshan</note>

參方衲子。鑑在機先。未離徑山時。已知道。西巖老漢。是蓬州人事了也。更何待歷三江九堰。懷臭木札。提破炊巾。登其門。造其室。覩其容。而又覓其語。以當參學事耶。德山隔江招手。特地揚家醜。高亭便乃橫趨。全身在半途。恁麼看來。上人即今進前擘帋。山僧從而左手點筆。未免笑殺西興渡口。王梢工第七子也。且道此子。有甚長處。回途驗取。

> A wandering monk discerns clearly before the signs appear. Even before I left Jingshan, I already knew that Elder Xiyan was a man from Pengzhou. Why wait to traverse three rivers and nine weirs, carry stinking wooden slips, and raise a torn rag to wipe my face, before climbing his gate and entering his chamber? Seeing his face, then seeking his words, treating this as the task of practice and study—is that necessary? Deshan waved from across the river, deliberately exposing his family's shame. Gaoting immediately rushed across, but his whole body was already halfway there. From this perspective, if you now step forward to tear open the paper, and I, this mountain monk, dip my brush with my left hand, we cannot help but make the ferryman's seventh son at Xixing laugh to death. But tell me—what special quality does this son possess? Test it on the road back.
