### 第四十七則芭焦拄杖

> Case 47: The Banana Plant Walking Stick

舉芭蕉示眾云。你有拄杖子。我與你拄杖子。骨堆上添土你無拄杖子。我奪你拄杖子。出土處掘坑天童拈云。你有則一切有。人人具足你無則一切無。脫體全空有無自是當人。圓同太虗。無欠無餘與奪關芭蕉甚事。良由取捨。所以不如正恁麼時。作麼生是你拄杖子和聲便打。

> He held up a banana plant and said to the assembly, “If you have a staff, I will give you a staff.” <note>Adding soil to a bone heap.</note> “If you have no staff, I will take your staff away.” <note>Digging a pit where the earth emerges.</note> Tiantong remarked: If you have it, then everything exists. <note>Everyone is fully endowed.</note> If you lack it, then nothing exists. <note>Completely empty, body and all.</note> Having or lacking—this is up to you. <note>Perfect like the great void, neither lacking nor in excess.</note> What does giving or taking have to do with the banana plant? <note>It is only because of grasping and rejecting that we fall short.</note> Right at this very moment—what is your staff? <note>Striking with the shout.</note>

師云。郢州芭蕉山慧清禪師。嗣南塔光湧。湧嗣仰山。蕉乃溈山重孫也。上堂曰。我二十八到仰山。見南塔上堂曰。汝等諸人。若是箇漢。纔出母胎。便作師子吼解。豈不快哉。當時我於這下歇得身心。便依之五載。蕉示眾曰。你有拄杖子。我與你拄杖子。萬松道。祖師不西來。少林傳妙訣。何須達磨直指人心。又道你無拄杖子。我奪你拄杖子。直饒一物不將來。更須放下始得。大溈喆云。大溈即不然。你有拄杖子。我奪你拄杖子。你無拄杖子。我與你拄杖子。大溈既如是。諸人還用得也未。若人用得。德山先鋒。臨濟合後。若用不得。且還本主。萬松道。順水推船。時人知有。天童拈出。大丈夫兒。有無在己。不受芭蕉處分。這箇從上來。喚作衲僧拄杖子。天童恐當人諱却更道。正恁麼時作麼生是你拄杖子。直饒拈得出。莫教萬松見。折做八截。燒灰颺却。萬松老矣。留得也好。何也。有時扶過斷橋水。幾度伴歸明月村。

> The Master said: The Chan Master Huiqing of Yazhou's Bajiao Mountain was the dharma heir of Nanta Guangyong. Guangyong was the heir of Yangshan. Thus, Bajiao was the great-grandson in the dharma lineage of Guishan. He once ascended the hall and said: "When I was twenty-eight, I went to Yangshan. I saw Nanta ascend the hall and say: 'All of you, if you are true individuals, from the very moment you emerge from your mother's womb, you should be able to roar like a lion. Wouldn't that be wonderful?' At that moment, my body and mind found rest right there. I then followed him for five years." Bajiao instructed the assembly, saying: "If you have a staff, I will give you a staff." Wansong commented: "If the Patriarch had not come from the West, and Shaolin had not transmitted the wondrous teaching, why would there be a need for Bodhidharma's direct pointing to the mind?" He also said: "If you have no staff, I will take your staff away. Even if you come with nothing at all, you must still put it down to succeed." Dagui Zhe said: "Dagui is not like that. If you have a staff, I will take your staff away. If you have no staff, I will give you a staff. Since Dagui is like this, can all of you make use of it? If you can make use of it, then Deshan leads the vanguard and Linji brings up the rear. If you cannot make use of it, then return it to its original owner." Wansong commented: "Pushing the boat along with the current—people of the time know this exists. Tiantong brings it forth: A true great man—having or not having lies within himself; he does not accept Bajiao's arrangements. This, from of old, has been called the monk's staff." Tiantong, fearing people might miss the point, further said: "Right at such a moment, what is your staff? Even if you can pick it out, don't let Wansong see it. He'll break it into eight pieces, burn it, and scatter the ashes." Wansong is old; it would be fine to leave it be. Why? Sometimes it helps one cross the water of a broken bridge; many times it accompanies one back to the moonlit village.
