據室。摩竭陀國。掘地覓天。毗耶離城。接竹點月。如金翅擘海。直取龍吞。似香象渡河。截流而過。苕菷柄三十。且待別時。
Regarding the room: In the kingdom of Magadha, they dig the earth seeking the sky. In the city of Vaishali, they connect bamboo to touch the moon. Like the golden-winged bird splitting the sea, directly capturing and swallowing the dragon. Like the fragrant elephant crossing the river, cutting through the current and passing over. The broom handle of thirty—wait for another time.
方外疏。言言見諦。句句朝宗。西天昔日淨名老。東土今朝龐蘊公。
Beyond worldly concerns, every word sees the truth. Each phrase points to the source. In the West, long ago, there was the elder Vimalakirti; in the East, today, there is Pang Yun.
陞座。拈香云。此香。蘊唐虞太和。根本蕩蕩。無能名焉。協殷周至治。馨香巍巍。有成功也。爇向寶爐。恭為大元世界主。當今皇帝。祝延聖躬。萬歲萬萬歲。
Ascending the seat, he takes up incense and says: This incense embodies the great harmony of the age of sage kings Yao and Shun—its roots are boundless, beyond all naming. It harmonizes with the perfect governance of the Shang and Zhou dynasties—its fragrance rises high, marked by accomplished deeds. I offer it into the precious censer, respectfully praying for the sovereign of the great Yuan world, the present emperor, may his sacred life endure for ten thousand years, and ten thousand times ten thousand years.
遂斂衣就座。僧出問云。堂前皷響。大眾雲臻。學人上來。請師說法。師云。破糞箕。生掃帚。僧云。臨濟和尚示眾云。夫說法者。一句中。須具三玄。一玄中。須具三要。還端的也無。師云。有甚不端的。僧云。如何是一句中須具三玄。師云。人天本豎。僧云。如何是一玄中須具三要。師云。畜生本橫。僧云。如何是第一玄。師云。東村王老屋頭穿。僧云。如何是第二玄。師云。大海波心駕銕船。僧云。如何是第三玄。師云。阿誰家裏竈無煙。僧云。如何是第一要。師云。眼裏瞳人吹木叫。僧云。如何是第二要。師云。寒山拍手拾得笑。僧云。如何是第三要。師云。皎月當空無不照。僧云。三要三玄蒙指示。西來的意事如何。師云。答汝亦不難。僧云。大善知識。豈悋方便。師云。老僧入院事繁。僧禮拜歸眾。
He then adjusted his robes and took his seat. A monk came forward and asked, "The drum sounds before the hall, and the assembly gathers like clouds. This student has come forward to request the master's teaching."
The master said, "A broken manure basket, born to sweep."
The monk said, "Master Linji addressed the assembly, saying: 'In all teachings, a single phrase must contain the Three Mysteries; each Mystery must contain the Three Essentials.' Is this true or not?"
The master said, "What is there that is not true?"
The monk asked, "What is a single phrase containing the Three Mysteries?"
The master said, "Humans and devas are inherently upright."
The monk asked, "What is one Mystery containing the Three Essentials?"
The master said, "Beasts are inherently horizontal."
The monk asked, "What is the First Mystery?"
The master said, "Old King Wang of the Eastern Village has a hole in his roof."
The monk asked, "What is the Second Mystery?"
The master said, "An iron boat sails across the heart of the great sea."
The monk asked, "What is the Third Mystery?"
The master said, "In whose home does the stove have no smoke?"
The monk asked, "What is the First Essential?"
The master said, "The pupil of the eye blows a wooden horn."
The monk asked, "What is the Second Essential?"
The master said, "Hanshan claps his hands, and Shide laughs."
The monk asked, "What is the Third Essential?"
The master said, "The bright moon hangs in the sky, shining on all without exception."
The monk said, "The Three Essentials and Three Mysteries have been shown through your compassionate guidance. But what about the meaning of the Western Patriarch's coming?"
The master said, "Answering you is not difficult."
The monk said, "A great teacher of knowledge—would you begrudge your skillful means?"
The master said, "This old monk has many affairs since taking over the temple."
The monk bowed and returned to the assembly.
師乃云。千峯頂上。出身一路。十字街頭不知。十字街頭。覿面一機。千峯頂上不會。千峯頂上若會。即是十字街頭。十字街頭若知。即是千峯頂上。盡無量阿僧祇劫。天人脩羅。若聖若凡。全體是箇國一道場。盡浮幢王剎。山河大地。若草若木。全體是箇妙喜世界。釋迦彌勒。拱手歸降。文殊普賢。全身奉重。天魔窺覰無門。外道瞻仰有分。如壯士展臂。不假他力。獅子游行。不求伴侶。逈絕異緣。高超諸有。以之壽聖君。則天地同久。日月並明。以之福賢佐。則安若太山。固如盤石。以之康濟兆民。則風以時雨以時。以之鍛鍊衲僧。則虗而靈寂而妙。正法眼藏。自此流通。邪見稠林。由茲寢息。正恁麼時。畢竟功歸何處。擊拂子云。蒲團靜坐無餘事。永日寥寥賀太平。
The Master said: "At the peak of a thousand mountains, there is a path of emergence. Yet at the crossroads, one does not know it. At the crossroads, there is a direct opportunity. Yet at the peak of a thousand mountains, one does not understand it. If one understands at the peak of a thousand mountains, that is the crossroads. If one knows at the crossroads, that is the peak of a thousand mountains."
Throughout countless eons, among gods and humans, asuras, saints and ordinary beings alike, the entire body is one single practice ground. Across all worlds—mountains, rivers, the great earth, grasses and trees—the entire body is a wondrous, joyful realm. Shakyamuni and Maitreya bow in surrender; Manjushri and Samantabhadra offer themselves wholly. Demons find no gateway to peek through, while outsiders gain the opportunity to look on in reverence. Like a mighty warrior stretching his arm, without relying on external strength; like a lion roaming, seeking no companion—utterly cut off from worldly conditions, soaring above all attachments.
By this, one blesses the sacred sovereign: heaven and earth share its duration, sun and moon shine together. By this, one blesses wise ministers: stable as Mount Tai, firm as a boulder. By this, one nurtures the myriad people: wind comes in season, rain falls in season. By this, one refines the monk's mind: empty yet luminous, still yet wondrous. The true Dharma eye treasury flows forth from here; the dense forest of wrong views ceases from this point. At this very moment, where does the merit ultimately return?
He struck the whisk and said: "Sitting quietly on the cushion, with nothing else to do—through the long day, in serene silence, we celebrate peace."
復舉法燈和尚云。本欲深藏巖竇。隱遁過時。奈緣法眼老人。有未了公案。出來。為他了却。時有僧出云。如何是未了底公案。法燈打云。祖禰不了。殃及兒孫。僧云。過在什麼處。燈云。過在我。殃及儞。
Dharma Lamp Master also said: "I originally wished to hide deep in the cliffs, secluding myself to pass the time. But due to the old master Dharma Eye having an unresolved koan, I came out to settle it for him."
At that moment, a monk stepped forward and asked, "What is the unresolved koan?"
Dharma Lamp struck him and said, "When ancestors and patriarchs fail to resolve it, the calamity falls upon descendants."
The monk asked, "Where does the fault lie?"
Dharma Lamp said, "The fault lies with me. The calamity falls upon you."
師云。能殺能活。能縱能敓。法燈不失本分鉗鎚。惜乎傷鋒犯手。致使貽笑傍觀。山僧本志。亦欲深藏巖竇。隱遁過時。柰緣藏叟老人。有未了公案。出來。為他了却。就中忽有箇渾鋼打就。生銕鑄成底。擔當得去。領略得行。一棒也不打他。一句也不罵他。向明窻下。如法安排。何故。總似今日。老胡有望。
The Master said: "Able to kill, able to bring to life; able to release, able to seize. The Dharma Lamp does not lose its fundamental skill with the hammer and tongs. Alas, it injures the edge and risks the hand, causing onlookers to laugh. As for my own original intention, I too wished to hide deep in the mountain caves, retreating and passing the time. But because Elder Cang Sou has an unresolved koan, I came out to settle it for him. If among you there is one forged from solid steel, cast from raw iron, who can take it on and carry it through, I would not strike him with a single blow, nor scold him with a single word. I would arrange for him properly by the bright window. Why is this? Because when all is as it is today, the old barbarian has hope."
為佛開光明。我如來。以清淨天眼。普觀大地眾生。去劫以前。來劫以後。纖塵無有障礙。徑山今日。因甚為他重新點出。只恐諸人。味其所自。
To open the light of the Buddha, I, the Thus-Come One, with the pure celestial eye, observe all beings across the earth—before past eons and after future eons—with not even a speck of dust obstructing. Yet today at Jingshan, why do I once again point this out anew? Only because I fear that all of you may overlook the source from which it comes.
上堂。一華開天下春。一葉落天下秋。理隨事變。事逐理收。無一塵而不徧。無一剎而不周。歷劫分明至今日。東西南北謾馳求。喝一喝。
The master ascended the hall and said: "When one flower blooms, spring fills the world. When one leaf falls, autumn spreads across the earth. Principles change with circumstances, and circumstances are gathered back into principles. There is not a single speck of dust that is not pervaded, not a single realm that is not encompassed. Throughout countless ages, this has been clear up to the present day—yet people still rush about frantically in all directions, seeking everywhere."
He then gave a shout.
請首座上堂。有際天之雲濤。可容吞舟之魚。有九萬里之風。可負垂天之翼。建法幢立宗旨。苟非其人。安任其事。拍禪床云。有意氣時添意氣。不風流處也風流。
I invite the chief abbot to take the high seat. There are clouds vast as the sky, vast enough to hold whales that swallow boats. There are winds that blow across ninety thousand miles, strong enough to bear wings that span the heavens. To raise the banner of Dharma and establish its core teachings— If one is not the right person, how could they undertake such a task?
*(He strikes the meditation bench.)* When there is spirit, add more spirit. Where there is no elegance, there is still elegance.
上堂。拈拄杖。卓一卓云。德山在儞頂門上。耀大法眼。臨濟在儞耳門裏。轟大法雷。靠拄杖云。只為諸人。當面蹉過。走入露柱裏去也。
The master entered the hall, raised his staff, and struck it once on the ground. He said, "Deshan is right above your heads, shining with the great Dharma eye. Linji is inside your ears, thundering with the great Dharma roar." He then set the staff down and said, "It is only because you all pass by what is right before your eyes that you end up running into a pillar."
上堂。僧出眾。提起坐具云。過去諸佛亦如是。現在諸佛亦如是。未來諸佛亦如是。師云。三脚蝦蟆著錦襠。僧禮拜云。謝師答話。師云。有人笑儞。
The Master ascended the hall. A monk came forward, raised his sitting mat, and said, "The Buddhas of the past were thus. The Buddhas of the present are thus. The Buddhas of the future are thus."
The Master said, "A three-legged toad wearing embroidered trousers."
The monk bowed and said, "Thank you, Master, for your reply."
The Master said, "Someone is laughing at you."
師乃云。病在一師一友處。病在多知多解處。病在求禪求道求菩提處。病在泯默無聞。冷水浸石頭處。只如著衣喫飯。屙屎送尿。還得不病也無。無為無事人。猶是金鎻難。
The Master said: "The illness lies in clinging to one teacher or one friend. The illness lies in excessive knowledge and understanding. The illness lies in seeking meditation, seeking the Way, seeking Enlightenment. The illness lies in remaining silent and unheard, like a cold stone soaked in water. But tell me—when it comes to putting on clothes, eating meals, and attending to bodily needs—is there still illness or not? Even the person who is free from all concerns is still trapped in a golden lock."
為玄首座下火。摧殘峭峻。銷爍玄微。兜率宮中。了無夢想。勞生路上。永絕驅馳。火裏烏龜頭戴角。飜身觸倒五須彌。
For the Funeral Pyre of Venerable Xuan. Shattered is the steep and jagged, consumed the profound and subtle. In the Palace of Tusita, dreams are no more. On the road of toil and birth, wandering has ceased forever. A turtle in fire wears horns on its head—turning over, it topples the Five Sumerus.
解夏上堂。舉東山和尚示眾云。百鍊黃金鑄銕牛。十分高價與人酬。庭前不有華含笑。又是東山一夏休。師云。徑山隨氀㲣。也有一頌。老矣無心鑄銕牛。眼前隨分即相酬。庭前葉脫西風起。且喜凌霄一夏休。
At the end of the summer retreat, the master ascended the hall. Citing Master Dongshan's teaching to the assembly: "A hundred refinements of gold cast an iron ox. At a high price, it is offered to others. In the courtyard, flowers smile, but not for long. Another summer at Dongshan has come to an end." The master then said, "Jingshan follows suit with a verse of my own: Old and without a mind to cast an iron ox, I accept whatever comes before me. Leaves fall in the courtyard as the west wind rises, and I'm glad that one summer at Lingxiao has come to a close."
城歸上堂。去時夏暑侵衣熱。歸日秋風滿面涼。彈指聲中便差別。百年能得幾時長。
The city returns to the upper hall. Leaving, summer heat soaked through clothes; returning, autumn breeze fills the face with coolness. In the snap of a finger, differences arise—within a hundred years, how much time can one truly have?
師一日勘僧云。擘開華嶽連天秀。放出黃河徹底清。則且置。平實地上。道將一句來。僧擬開口。師便打。僧休去。
One day, the Master tested a monk, saying, "To split open the Hua Peak and reveal the sky's beauty, to let the Yellow River run clear to the bottom—set that aside. On the level ground of plain reality, say a single sentence." The monk was about to open his mouth, but the Master immediately struck him. The monk then stopped.
天童雲外和尚遺書至上堂。舉雲居膺和尚遷化次。問侍者云。今日是何日。者云初三。居云。三十年後。但云只者是。遂乃端然告寂。
The Final Words of Venerable Tiantong Yunwai, Presented at the High Hall.
The Master cited the case of Venerable Yunju Ying at the time of his passing. Yunju asked his attendant, "What day is today?" The attendant replied, "The third day of the month." Yunju said, "Thirty years from now, just say, 'It is exactly this.'" Then he sat upright and passed away in stillness.
師云。雲居得曹洞正傳。為宗門百世師表。末後全提。因甚一場懡㦬。擊拂子云。無縫塔中雲匼匝。不萌枝上月團圓。
The Master said, "Yunju received the true transmission of the Caoshan and Dongshan lineage, and became a model teacher for the school for a hundred generations. Yet at the very end, when he fully revealed his teaching, why did it end in such embarrassment and disgrace?" He struck the whisk and said, "Within the seamless tower, clouds gather thickly; upon the branch that does not sprout, the moon shines round and full."
上堂。僧問云。門門一切境。回互不回互。如何是不回互。師云。闍黎自闍黎。老僧自老僧。僧云。如何是回互。師云。闍黎即是老僧。老僧即是闍黎。
The Master took the high seat. A monk asked, "All realms are gates—do they clash and intertwine or not? What is non-intertwining?" The Master said, "You are you. This old monk is I." The monk asked, "What is intertwining?" The Master said, "You are I, and I am you."
師乃云。南泉斬猫兒。趙州頭戴草鞋出去。鳥窠吹布毛。通侍者當下悟去。咄咄咄。力囗希。禪子訝。中眉垂。
The master then said: "Nanquan killed the cat. Zhaozhou left wearing his straw sandals on his head. Niaoke blew on a piece of cloth, and Attendant Tong was enlightened on the spot. Hmph, hmph, hmph! Strength is rare. Zen students are astonished. Eyebrows hang low in the middle."
上堂。窮千仞之巔。則必與之俱。錯。極九淵之底。則必與之俱。錯。一種平懷。泯然自盡。錯。達磨云。但有心分別計較。自心現量者。悉皆是夢。錯錯錯。何曾錯。祥麟只有一隻角。
The Master addressed the assembly: "To scale the highest peak—one must climb with it. Wrong. To descend to the deepest abyss—one must sink with it. Wrong. To hold a single, even mind—even that fades into silence. Wrong.
Bodhidharma said: 'Anything perceived through discriminative thought and mental calculation is merely a dream born from the mind itself.' Wrong, wrong, wrong.
But was there ever a mistake? The auspicious unicorn has only one horn."
為旌忠了堂和尚引座。開蓮華於臘月。落冰片於炎天。疏正脉之淵源。碎邪師之窠臼。寒木在握兮。全機可笑。秋水橫按兮。半提可滅。使八極頂目者。不自爭衡。將見斯人兮駕馭昂枿。擊拂子云。叢林在處今寥落。聽取西山第二禪。
To invite the Venerable Master Liaotang of Jingzhong to take the seat, opening the lotus flower in the twelfth month, and letting ice shards fall in the scorching summer. This clarifies the true source of the lineage and shatters the nests of heretical teachers. Holding a cold branch in hand—how laughable is the full function! Resting a sword over autumn waters—the half-raised can extinguish all. Let those who gaze at the farthest horizons cease contending for supremacy. Behold this person who rides high above all obstacles. Striking the whisk, he says: "The monastic communities everywhere are now desolate—listen to the second meditation of West Mountain."
上堂。舜若多神。無身覺觸。䟦難陀龍。無耳聽聞。棋盤石。雨過苔生。鉢盂池。春來水滿。若作佛法商量。入地獄如箭射。不作佛法商量。入地獄如箭射。
The master addressed the assembly: "The spirit Sunyata, though bodiless, experiences sensation. The dragon Panada, though earless, hears sounds. On the chessboard stone, moss grows after rain. In the alms-bowl pond, water fills with spring's arrival. If you deliberate on these as expressions of the Dharma, you'll fall to hell as swiftly as an arrow. If you do not deliberate on them as Dharma, you'll fall to hell just the same."
一日僧來參。師問云。何方聖者。甚處靈祇。僧云。臨朕碪。師云。杜撰禪和。如麻似粟。參堂去。
上堂。風吹不入。水洒不著。邁古超今。光明烜赫。昨夜楊岐三脚驢。飜身踏倒黃番綽。今朝仔細辯蹤由。却是西川李八伯。
The master ascended the hall and said: The wind cannot penetrate it, Water cannot wet it. It transcends ancient and modern times, Its radiance shines brilliantly. Last night, Yangqi's three-legged donkey Turned over and knocked down Huang Fanchuo. This morning, examining carefully to trace the origin— It turns out it was Li Babo from Western Sichuan.
為泳掌財下火。秤盤上。分斤定兩。是汝。筭筒邊。橫千豎百。是汝。且道生死海中。涵泳游戲。是汝。不是汝。擲下火云。烈焰堆中。分明薦取。
謝秉拂并夏齋上堂。教中道。於食等者。於法亦等。於法等者。於食亦等。都寺營齋。內外悉皆飫飽。是名食等。首座秉拂。內外悉皆見聞。是名法等。其施汝者。不名福田。供養汝者。墮三惡道。喝一喝。下座。
上堂。即心即佛。喚起窻全曙。非心非佛。催歸日未西。不是心。不是佛。不是物。無心華裏鳥。更與盡情啼。拈拄杖。卓一卓。
上堂。入水不避蛟龍。漁父之勇也。入山不畏虎兕。獵人之勇也。見佛殺佛。見祖殺祖。衲僧之勇也。拈拄杖云。出頭天外看。誰是我般人。
朝廷金山作水陸陞座。拈香云。此香融五嶽之神秀。五嶽莫並其高寒。結九地之精英。九地莫窮其深厚。爇向寶爐。端為祝延大元世界主。當今皇帝。聖躬。萬歲萬萬歲。陛下。恭願。懷保小民。茂昭大德。本枝百世。壽考萬年。
問答不錄。

上堂。舉臨濟示眾云。若與麼來。恰似失却。不與麼來。無繩自縛。一切時中。莫亂斟酌。會與不會。都來是錯。分明與麼道。一任天下人貶剝。
師云。者老漢。刺腦入膠盆了也。乃云。若與麼來。無繩自縛。不與麼來。恰似失却。一切時中。切宜斟酌。會與不會。莫錯莫錯。分明與麼道。是甚秦時轢𨍏。喝一喝。下座。

復說偈云。蠟人還只爾。銕彈復何如。夜短睡不足。日長飢有餘。
普慶請開山上堂。僧問云。法筵初啟。佛寺新開。作麼生是斬新一句。師云。天不能蓋。地不能載。僧云。恁麼則普慶山中祥霧起。翠屏峯下瑞雲生。師云。莫𧬊速。僧云。爭奈目前何。師云。教儞莫𧬊速。僧云。記得。世尊因地中。布髮掩泥次。然燈如來。指布髮處云。此處可建梵剎。為復因時建立。為復觸處皆真。師云。南斗七北斗八。僧云。會中適有賢于長者。持標竿。以指處插云。建梵剎已竟。又作麼生。師云。隨邪逐惡。僧云。是時天帝釋。於空中雨華。讚歎云。庶子有大志矣。還諦當否。師云。剎竿頭上仰蓮心。僧云。只如子愚能長老。刳心獨力。營剏寶坊。可謂出他古人一頭地。師云。同坑無異土。僧云。還許某甲末後讚歎一句也無。師云。試亂統看。僧擬開口。師便喝。僧禮拜歸眾。
師乃云。法身無相。融攝十虗。法眼無瑕。包羅萬像。淨倮倮絕承當。赤洒洒無空闕。如天普蓋。似地普擎。直得一為無量。無量為一。小中現大。大中現小。於一毛端。現寶王剎。坐微塵裏。轉大法輪。正恁麼時。還有與子愚能長老相見者麼。若也見。三十棒。一棒也不較。若也不見。三十棒。一棒也不較。何故。知恩方解報恩。
復舉。世尊。因地中。布髮掩泥公案。師云。適間禪客。問一句來。老僧答一句去。可謂徹頭徹尾。苟或遲疑。更聽一頌。無上寶王剎。當機誰解看。然燈纔舉手。長者便標竿。解起天人敬。能摩星斗寒。埋頭火宅者。今古自顢頇。
上堂。於心所生。即名為色。知色空故。生即不生。馬簸箕應西天懸讖。傳東土大法。因甚却將驢鞍橋。作阿爺下頷。擊拂子云。急須著眼看仙人。莫看仙人手中扇。
上堂。一夏悠悠今已半。尅期取證事如何。幻華非幻消磨盡。只與從前不較多。
上堂。平白地上。拈起一絲。十箇有五雙。眼瞠瞠地。若作佛法商量。錯認定盤星。不作佛法商量。刻舟求劒。三十年後。蹉口咬著舌頭。徑山生身墮無間獄。拈拄杖。畫一畫云。毗婆尸佛早留心。直至如今不得妙。
上堂。秋風涼。秋夜長。未歸客。思故鄉。拍禪床云。自是不歸歸便得。五湖煙景有誰爭。
為存上座下火。偷心死盡。毛髮不存。正是大病之源。涅槃臺上。皎月當空。勝熱門頭。清風帀地。
上堂。聞聲不被聲惑。是儞觀音三昧。見色不被色迷。是儞文殊法門。居一切事。不被事礙。涉一切理。不被理拘。是儞普賢境界。若也成褫得去。受用得行。常在途中不出門。無去無來亦無住。若也當頭蹉過。當面諱却。便是阿逸多出世。更須買草鞋。行脚始得。
上堂。盡大地是金剛正體。二時粥飯。向甚處屙。盡大地是涅槃妙心。六道輪迴。因甚處得。良久云。啼得血流無用處。不如緘口過殘春。
上堂。舉黃蘗和尚示眾云。儞諸人。盡是噇酒糟漢。恁麼行脚。何處有今日。還知大唐國裏。無禪師麼。時有僧出云。只如諸方。匡徒領眾。又且如何。蘗云。不道無禪。只是無師。
後來溈山。舉問仰山。黃蘗意旨如何。仰云。鵝王擇乳。素非鴨類。溈云。斯實難辯。
師頌云。大唐國裏無禪師。亂鑿胡穿知幾幾。鵝王擇乳鴨不同。惟有仰山較些子。
上堂。謝秉拂并夏齋。
無絃琴上。撫出五音六律。無底鉢中。飣出七珍八寶。未聞者得聞。未飽者得飽。碁盤石。𨁝跳上天。鉢盂池。哮吼入海。俱胝道者。忍俊不禁。將國一祖師禪石。喝成三片。直下恰似川字籀文。喝一喝。
上堂。舉南嶽和尚示眾云。道一曾為人說法也未。總不見寄箇消息來。僧云。已與人說法了也。遂令訪彼。待他陞座。但出問云。作麼生。有甚言句。記將來。其僧依教往問。一云。自從胡亂後三十年。不少鹽醬。其僧回舉似。南嶽大稱賞之。
師頌云。三十年不少鹽醬。二時粥飯只如常。可憐南嶽讓和尚。垂老懸懸掛肚腸。
請兩序上堂。一心不生。萬法無咎。欲左即左。欲右即右。如頭之耳目。如身之臂肘。其進用也。罔涉離微。其退藏也。豈存窠臼。日午打三更。面南看北斗。
上堂。僧出眾云。丹霞燒木佛。院主眉鬚墮。師云。一家有事百家忙。僧回首召云。大眾記取。師云。老僧今日不著便。
師乃云。若論此事。不可以有心求。不可以無心得。不可以語言造。不可以寂嘿通。十二時中。且作麼生得相應去。者裏風頭稍硬。且歸煖處商量。
上堂。本大者其葉茂。源深者其流長。源之通塞。要在疏之導之。使無匱竭之憂。本之榮悴。要在培之植之。使無夭折之患。上而諸佛。下而諸祖。豎大法幢。耀大法眼。乃至有國有家。垂紳正笏。措天下於泰山盤石之安。總出者箇圈繢不得。擊拂子云。劒為不平離寶匣。藥因救病出金缾。
請監收上堂。山鄉每憂旱。水鄉常畏潦。付託既得人。安用掛懷抱。古人云。千粒萬粒一粒生。只者一粒甚處生。歸堂喫茶。
上堂。內不住受想行識。外不著聲香味觸。出息不涉萬緣。入息不居陰界。菩提妙華徧莊嚴。隨所住處常安樂。便與麼去。只成箇杜撰座主。向我衲僧門下。未夢見在。擊拂子云。獨立周行如便休。誰振宏綱照千古。
上堂。無名名之父。空手把鋤頭。步行騎水牛。為萬物之根源。作天地之太祖。人從橋上過。橋流水不流。拈拄杖。左卓云。者裏會得。見肇法師即易。見傅大士即難。右卓云。者裏會得。見傅大士即易。見肇法師即難。坐斷主人翁。不落第二見。老好痛與三十。貶向無生國裏。靠拄杖下座。
上堂。半明半暗。半合半開。無向無背。無去無來。曠大劫來覓不得。四天下人空獃獃。
上堂。人間五月汗滂流。山雨連朝冷似秋。直下便明心地法。銕鞭三百未輕酬。
師廊下見僧。便云。棋盤石。斫破儞腦門。鉢盂池。浸瀾倆脚板。僧擬議。師便喝。
上堂。諸人知處。良遂總知。威音王前。無一法可增。良遂知處。諸人不知。阿逸多後。無一法可減。只如麻谷携鋤入菜園。是有指示耶。無指示耶。迷來總似蛾投火。悟去渾如鶴出籠。
上堂。身上著衣方免寒。口頭說食終不飽。百千諸佛諸祖師。別更無禪亦無道。拍禪床。下座。
謝兩序上堂。靈機廓徹。智鑑虗圓。固無動寂之殊。豈有久新之異。拈起也十日麗天。放下也百川赴海。後先齊致。左右逢原。正恁麼時如何。三界炎歊爍金石。蒲團永日自寥寥。
示眾。初祖菩提達磨云。若人造一切罪。自見己之法王。即得解脫。者老臊胡。佩般若多羅正印。十萬里踰沙越漠道。我傳法救迷情。因甚却作野干鳴。脾胃肝膽。涕唾膿血。是儞地水邊事。非己之法王也。寒煖呼吸。動轉施為。是儞火風邊事。非己之法王也。呼之有聲。不見其形。孤明歷歷。言談祗對者。是儞無量劫來生死根本。非己之法王也。且阿那箇。是儞己之法王。別教什麼人見。當其見時。有形耶。無形耶。青耶黃耶。大耶小耶。者裏脫體分明。達磨大師。與儞洗脚有分。其或未然。碧眼胡。從普通年。直至如今。在儞眉毛眼睫上。放妙寶光明。出妙寶音聲。演說安心法門。切忌當頭蹉過。珍重。
上堂。舉南泉。因入園。見一僧。乃拋瓦礫擲之。其僧回首。泉乃翹一足。僧無語。泉便歸。僧隨後歸請益云。和尚擲瓦礫。打某甲。豈不是警覺某甲。泉云。翹足又作麼生。僧無語。
師云。明月之珠。夜光之璧。以暗投人。莫不按劍而視。南泉老漢。失却一隻眼。畢竟如何。頭上是天。脚下是地。甜瓜藤結苦胡盧。釋迦不受然燈記。
