title: "聯燈會要 · 二祖慧可大師"
description: "聯燈會要是中國禪宗重要的燈錄體史書，由南宋臨濟宗僧悟明於1183年編撰完成。該書匯集了北宋景德傳燈錄和天聖廣燈錄等內容，以問答聯句的形式輯錄了過去七佛至南宋孝宗時期六百餘位禪宗祖師的機緣語錄，故名聯燈。其內容精煉，突出禪宗心法傳承，是研究禪宗思想史和語錄的重要文獻。它與五燈會元並稱，對後世燈錄編纂影響深遠，在佛教史上佔有崇高地位。"

### 二祖慧可大師凡三

> Second Patriarch, Great Master Huike<note>Three sections</note>

師問達磨。諸佛法印。可得聞乎。磨云。諸佛法印。不從人得。師云。我心未寧。乞師安心。磨云。將心來。與汝安。師沉吟。須臾云。覔心了不可得。磨云。與汝安心竟。

> The master asked Bodhidharma, "Can the essence of all Buddhas' teachings be heard?" Bodhidharma replied, "The essence of all Buddhas' teachings is not obtained from others." The master said, "My mind is not at peace. Please, master, pacify my mind." Bodhidharma said, "Bring me your mind, and I will pacify it for you." The master paused, then after a moment said, "I have searched for my mind, but it is truly not to be found." Bodhidharma said, "There—I have pacified your mind for you."

芭蕉云。金剛與泥人揩背。

白雲端頌云。終始覔心不可得。寥寥不見少林人。滿庭舊雪重知泠。鼻孔依前搭上唇。

> A white cloud arises at the edge, and its song is sung: From beginning to end, the mind cannot be found. Empty and still, none see the man of Shaolin. In the courtyard, old snow again feels chill— The nostrils, as before, rest upon the lips.

師適北齊。有一居士。年逾四十。詣前作禮云。弟子身纏風恙。請師懺罪。師云。將罪來。與汝懺。士良久云。覔罪性。了不可得。師云。與汝懺罪竟。宜依佛法僧住。居士云。今見和尚。已知是僧。何名佛法。師云。是心是佛。是心是法。佛法不二。僧寶亦然。居士云。今日始知。罪性不在內。不在外。不在中間。如其心然。佛法無二也。師深器之。

> The master traveled to Northern Qi. There was a layman, over forty years old, who came forward and bowed, saying, "Your disciple is afflicted with a chronic ailment. Please, master, help me repent of my sins." The master said, "Bring me your sins, and I will repent them for you." The layman paused for a long while, then said, "I have searched for the nature of sin, but it is nowhere to be found." The master said, "Your repentance is complete. You should now take refuge in the Buddha, the Dharma, and the Sangha." The layman said, "Now that I see you, master, I know what the Sangha is. But what are the Buddha and the Dharma?" The master said, "This mind is the Buddha. This mind is the Dharma. The Buddha and the Dharma are not two. The Sangha jewel is the same." The layman said, "Today I finally understand: the nature of sin is not inside, not outside, and not in between. Just as this mind is, so too are the Buddha and the Dharma not two." The master held him in high regard.

瑯瑘云。猶欠作云何梵在。

> Langya said, "Still missing the part about 'What is Brahma?'"

師即授出家剃落。易名僧璨。

> The master then performed the ordination, shaving his head and granting him the monastic robe. He gave him the new name, Sengcan.

付法說偈云。本來緣有地。因地種花生。本來無有種。花亦不曾生。

> The Dharma-transmission verse says: Originally, there is the ground from which flowers grow. The ground gives rise to the seeds, and from them, flowers bloom. Yet, in the beginning, there was no seed at all— And so, the flower was never truly born.

後於開皇十三年癸丑。三月十六日。示寂。壽一百七歲。

> Later, in the thirteenth year of the Kaihuang era, on the sixteenth day of the third month, he passed away. He lived to be one hundred and seven years old.
