Zen Patriarchs' Verses (禪門諸祖師偈頌)


其二

Chapter 2

識得衣中寶。無明醉自醒。百骸俱潰散。一物鎮長靈。知境渾非體。神珠不定形。悟則三身佛。迷疑萬卷經。在心心可測。歷耳耳難聽。罔象光天地。玄泉出杳冥。本剛非鍛鍊。元淨莫澄渟。盤泊輪朝日。玲瓏映曉星。瑞光流不滅。真氣觸還生。鑒照崆峒寂。羅籠法界明。挫凡功不滅。超聖果非盈。龍女心親獻。蛇王口自呈。護鵝人却活。黃雀意猶輕。解語非關舌。能言不是聲。絕邊彌汗漫。無際等空平。演教非為說。聞名勿認名。兩邊俱莫立。中道不須行。見月休觀指。還家罷問程。識心心則佛。何佛更堪成。

Recognize the treasure within your robe, and the drunkenness of ignorance dissolves into wakefulness on its own. Though the hundred bones all crumble and scatter, one thing remains forever awake. Knowing what appears before you is not your true body; the wondrous pearl has no fixed form. Awaken, and the three bodies are Buddha; deluded, and you doubt a thousand scrolls of sutras. Present in the mind, the mind can fathom it; passing through the ear, the ear cannot truly hear it. Formless, it illumines heaven and earth; the hidden spring flows from the deep and dark. Its nature is hard, needing no forging; it is originally pure, needing no settling clear. It settles where the wheel faces the morning sun, and its clarity reflects the dawn star. Its auspicious radiance streams on without ceasing; true qi returns to life at a touch. It mirrors the stillness of Kongtong; it encompasses the Dharma realm in brightness. Subduing the ordinary brings merit that does not perish; transcending the noble brings a fruit that is not increased. The dragon girl offered her heart in person; the serpent king made his own confession. The goose protector came back to life, yet still the yellow sparrow's intent was lightly held. Understanding words is not a matter of the tongue; being able to speak is not a sound. Beyond all extremes, it is vast and boundless; without limit, it equals the evenness of space. Teaching the Dharma is not for the sake of speaking; hearing the name, do not cling to the name. Do not stand on either side; the Middle Way need not be walked. Having seen the moon, stop watching the finger; having returned home, cease asking the way. Know the mind, and the mind is Buddha—what other Buddha is there left to attain?
