Record of Chan Master Qing of Touzi Mountain, Shuzhou, at Baiyun Mountain Haihui Chan Monastery
(住上都左街十方淨因禪院。傳法比丘自覺編)
Residing at the Ten Directions Pure Cause Meditation Monastery on the Left Street of the Upper Capital, compiled by the Dharma-transmitting Monk Zijue.
師開堂日。大眾集定。知縣寺丞捧疏呈師。師接得迺云。心若無事萬法不生。意絕玄微纖塵何立。遂呈起疏云。且道這箇從甚處得來。若道得。石人舞袖共賀太平。若道不得。却請維那為眾道破。宣疏罷。師指法座云。大眾。從上諸聖到這裏從空放下。山僧即不然。到這裏却步步登高。何故。欲窮千里目。更上一層樓。便陞座。太平長老拈香與師。師接乃云。此一瓣香奉為今上皇帝祝延 聖壽。恭願 陛下乾坤同壽。日月齊明。八方歌堯舜之風。四塞賀禹湯之化(拈宰官香訖)。此一瓣大眾還知來處麼。非天地所產。非陰陽所成。威音已前不落諸位。然燈之後七佛傳來。直至曹谿分派大夏。山僧向治平初在浮山圓鑑禪師親手傳得。寄付其宗。頌委證明。慈旨云。代吾續大陽宗風。山僧雖不識大陽禪師。憑浮山宗法識人以為續嗣。如此更不違浮山圓鑒禪師法命付囑之恩。恭為郢州大陽山明安和尚。何故。父母諸佛非親。以法為親。遂趺坐。山谷長老白槌云。法筵龍象眾。當觀第一義。師乃云。大眾。還知道早落第二義麼。若是第一義作麼生觀。到這裏直饒祖佛全身是眼覰見無門。衲僧喘息之閒千生萬劫。六代攢眉。古今倒立。致使掩室於摩竭。淨名杜口於毗耶。少室九年。黃梅夜渡。若據盡法施行。直須摩天荊棘。此乃郡化清垂邑光臨政。遠承佛囑之因。近護興隆之道。今日為國開堂演法。上答皇家。悚懼丹誠。一心奉祝。眾中莫有久𢹂祖胄。積佩印韜。不顧大庾嶺高。便請截雲相見。時有僧問。師唱誰家曲。宗風嗣阿誰。師云。威音前一箭。射透兩重山。進云如何是相付底事。師云。全因淮地月。得照郢陽春。進云恁麼則入水見長人。師云。祇知荊玉異。那辨楚王心。隨從以拂子擊禪牀一下。僧問。昔日多子塔前預聞記莂。今朝白雲峯下願聽潮音。師云。紫鳳堦前舞。金雞對日啼。進云。若然者。五山高鎮地。百谷遠朝宗。師云。雲外千峯翠。谿聲一㨾寒。進云。一片白雲舒世界。普天無處不垂陰。師云。龍吟碧㵎。霧祝霜華。僧問。昨離舒郡太平。今到白雲海會。如何是不動尊。師云。白雲來往青山外。嶺上寒松帶月高。進云。恁麼則不離此處遍到他方。師云。休問山前路。孤猿啼處深。僧禮拜。師噓一聲云。更有問話者麼。若無。彼此著便。何故。若論此事。豈在高陞法座下列明賢。問答主賓以為出世。況千賢杜口萬聖絕言。古今佛祖分雪無門。三藏五乘指諭不下。然雖如是。不可一向弓折箭盡去也。所以道千峯鎖色萬木凝寒。古嵓月照風生。幽洞雲開四面。龍吟枯木。鳳囀丹霄。石牛吼斷長空。木馬嘶開金戶。靈苗競發。瑞艸爭春。日月同明。千江共澍。直得如斯。猶是出世邊事。落在今時。諸仁者。如何得不落今時去。良久云。萬年石徑千雲鎖。一帶青山半夜封。白槌云。諦觀法王法。法王法如是。便下座。
The Master ascended the hall for his inaugural teaching. The assembly had gathered and settled. The County Magistrate and Temple Registrar presented a petition to the Master. Taking it, the Master said:
"If the mind is without concerns, the ten thousand phenomena do not arise. If intention is free from subtle mystery, how can a single speck of dust stand?" He then raised the petition and asked, "Tell me—where did this come from? If you can say, the stone man will dance and join in celebrating peace. If you cannot say, then I ask the Reciter to explain it for the assembly."
After the petition was read, the Master pointed to the Dharma seat and said, "Great assembly! From ancient times, all the Noble Ones, upon reaching this point, let go and descended from emptiness. But I, this mountain monk, am different. Reaching this point, I climb higher step by step. Why? To see a thousand miles, you must go up another story." He then ascended the seat.
The Elder of Taiping Monastery offered incense to the Master. Taking it, the Master said, "This first stick of incense is offered for the present Emperor, wishing him a long and holy life. I humbly pray that Your Majesty may share the longevity of Heaven and Earth and shine with the brilliance of the Sun and Moon. May the eight directions sing of the wind of Yao and Shun, and may the four borders celebrate the civilization of Yu and Tang." (Finished offering the incense of an official.)
"This stick of incense—do you, great assembly, know where it came from? It is not produced by Heaven and Earth, nor completed by Yin and Yang. Before the time of Weiyin, it did not fall into any rank. After the Dipankara Buddha, it was transmitted through the seven Buddhas, until it branched at Caoxi and spread to Daxia. This mountain monk, at the beginning of the Zhiping era, personally received it from Chan Master Yuanjian of Fushan. He entrusted it to this lineage, with a verse as proof, and a compassionate instruction: 'Take my place to continue the lineage of the Dayang sect.' Although this mountain monk never knew Chan Master Dayang, relying on Fushan's teaching and transmission method, I identify this person as my successor. In this way, I do not betray the entrustment of Chan Master Yuanjian of Fushan. I respectfully offer this to the Great Master Ming'an of Dayang Mountain in Yingzhou. Why? Because parents and Buddhas are not true relatives—only the Dharma is true kinship." He then sat in full lotus.
The Elder of Shangu Valley struck the gavel and said, "All dragon-elephants at the Dharma feast, you should contemplate the ultimate truth." The Master then said, "Great assembly! Do you know that you have already fallen into the secondary meaning? If it is the ultimate truth, how could it be contemplated? When you reach here, even if the Buddhas and Patriarchs had eyes all over their bodies, they would find no door to glimpse it. In the space of a monk’s breath, a thousand births and a thousand kalpas pass. The six Patriarchs knit their brows; ancient and present stand on their heads. This causes Mahakashyapa to close his chamber at Magadha, Vimalakirti to be speechless at Vaishali, Bodhidharma to stay nine years at Shaolin, and Huineng to cross the river at night at Huangmei. If everything were carried out to its full extent, one would simply make thorns reach the sky. But now, as the kindness of the prefecture shines and the administration of the county guides the people, we have long received the Buddha’s entrustment and lately protect the path of flourishing. Today, for the country, I open the hall and spread the Dharma, repaying the imperial family with reverence. With trembling sincerity, I offer this single-minded prayer. Is there anyone in the assembly who has long carried the ancestral mantle and accumulated the seal of wisdom, who does not fear the height of Dayu Ridge, and would like to come forth and meet amidst the clouds?"
At that moment, a monk asked, "Master, whose tune do you sing? Who succeeds to the ancestral style?" The Master replied, "Before Weiyin, an arrow shot through two layers of mountains."
The monk asked, "What is the matter that has been transmitted?" The Master said, "It all depends on the moon of Huai region to illuminate the spring of Yingyang."
The monk said, "Then it is like going into the water and meeting the tall man." The Master replied, "You only know the jade of Jing is different but cannot distinguish the heart of the King of Chu."
The attendant struck the meditation bench once with the fly-whisk. Another monk asked, "In the past, before the stupa of Many Sons, you heard the prophecy. Today, beneath White Cloud Peak, I wish to hear the sound of the tide." The Master said, "The purple phoenix dances before the steps; the golden cock crows at the sun."
The monk said, "If so, then the five mountains tower over the earth, and a hundred valleys pay homage to the source." The Master replied, "Beyond the clouds, a thousand peaks are green; the sound of the stream is one kind of cold."
The monk said, "A single white cloud unfolds across the world; nowhere in all heaven is it not overshadowed." The Master said, "The dragon roars in the green ravine; mist adorns the frosty flowers."
Another monk asked, "Yesterday I left Taiping Monastery in Shujun; today I have arrived at White Cloud Ocean Assembly. What is the Unmoving Honored One?" The Master said, "White clouds come and go beyond the green mountains; on the ridge, the cold pines hold the moon high."
The monk said, "Thus, without leaving this place, I reach all other lands." The Master replied, "Do not ask about the mountain path ahead; the solitary ape cries where it is deep."
The monk bowed. The Master let out a sigh and said, "Are there further questions? If not, then we are all done here. Why? If we speak of this matter, it does not consist in ascending this seat, arranging wise guests, or hosting dialogues as a way of manifesting in the world. Indeed, a thousand sages are speechless, ten thousand saints have no words. Ancient and present Buddhas and Patriarchs find no entrance to explain it. The three stores and five vehicles fail to indicate or describe it. Nevertheless, we cannot simply break the bow and exhaust the arrows. Therefore it is said: A thousand peaks lock in their colors; ten thousand trees congeal the cold. The ancient cliff is lit by moonlight, the wind stirs. In the deep cave, clouds open on all sides. The dragon roars in withered trees; the phoenix warbles in the crimson sky. The stone ox bellows and breaks the emptiness; the wooden horse neighs and opens the golden door. The miraculous seedlings sprout together; the auspicious grasses vie in spring. The Sun and Moon shine together; a thousand rivers all pour their waters. Even if it is like this, this is still the matter of emerging into the world, falling into the present moment. Good people! How can we not fall into the present moment?" After a long pause, he said, "The ten-thousand-year stone path is locked by a thousand clouds; a band of green mountains is sealed at midnight."
The gavel was struck and it was said, "Contemplate the Dharma King’s Dharma—the Dharma King’s Dharma is thus." Then the Master descended from the seat.
師在太平受帖陞座。僧問。諸佛不出世。一句如何宣。諸佛已出世。一句示何人。師云。石人蹈雪去。清風滿座來。進云。滿堂人側耳。此日盡知音。師云。闍梨且低聲。進云。雲騰霄漢。雨潤大千。和尚出世事如何。師云。明月連僧舍。青山近白雲。進云。一炷沈檀爇。馨香遠近聞。師云。雞峯嵓下笑殺頭陀。僧禮拜。師云。更有問話者麼。若無。彼此著便。何故。若論此事。如鸞鳳冲霄不留其迹。羚羊掛角那覓其蹤。金龍不守於寒潭。玉兔豈棲於蟾影。其或主賓若立。須威音路外搖頭。問答言陳。仍玄路傍提為唱。若能如是。猶在半途。更乃凝眸。不勞相見(謝詞不錄)。
The Master took his seat at the sermon platform after receiving an invitation at Taiping Temple. A monastic asked, "If all Buddhas do not appear in the world, how is the teaching proclaimed in a single phrase? If all Buddhas have already appeared, to whom is that single phrase shown?"
The Master replied, "A stone man walks through the snow; a pure breeze fills the hall."
The monastic continued, "The entire hall inclines its ear—today, all understand the message."
The Master said, "Good monk, lower your voice."
The monastic asked further, "Clouds rise to the celestial heights, rain nourishes the great earth. What is the matter of the Master’s appearance in the world?"
The Master said, "The bright moon accompanies the monastic lodge; the green mountains nestle close to the white clouds."
The monastic responded, "A single stick of incense burns; its fragrance spreads near and far."
The Master said, "At the peak of Rooster Mountain, the head monk would surely laugh to death."
The monastic bowed. The Master then asked, "Are there any further questions? If not, let’s each tend to our own convenience. Why is this? If we discuss this matter, it is like the phoenix soaring into the sky—it leaves no trace. Like the antelope hanging by its horns—where can its tracks be found? The golden dragon does not dwell in the cold pond; the jade rabbit does not perch in the moon’s shadow. If host and guest are established, one must shake the head beyond the realm of sound. When questions and answers are voiced, they must follow the mysterious path and be sung alongside it. Even if you can do this, you are still only halfway there. If you fix your gaze any further, you need not meet again.” (Thanks omitted)
次夜小參。僧問。承明安禪師頌云。陽廣山頭艸。憑君待價焞。今夜布袋已開。請師垂示。師云。瑞艸連天秀。蘆華對月明。進云。學人未曉。請師再指。師云。且歸嵓下去。直待月明時。進云。恁麼則野火燒不盡。春風吹又生。師云。正令已行。次。僧提起坐具云。文殊劒在這裏。開口動舌則喪身失命。請師答話。師敲禪牀一下。進云果然好手。師云且莫錯會。師乃云。昨夜鐘鳴時。道人盡來此。今夜鐘鳴時。復來有何事。月照幽室寒。星分拱辰異。若是陶淵明。攢眉却回去。良久云。今夜不教諸人攢眉。何故。心不負人。面無慚色。下座。
That evening in a small gathering, a monk asked: "The Chan Master Ming'an's verse says: 'Grass on Sunny Mountain, wait for the right price to sell.' Tonight the cloth bag is open. Please, Master, give us your instruction."
The Master said: "The auspicious grass stretches as far as the sky; reeds bloom in the moonlight."
The monk pressed: "I don't understand yet. Please, Master, explain further."
The Master said: "For now, go back to the cliff. Wait until the moon is bright."
The monk said: "Then it's like 'Wildfire cannot burn them all; the spring breeze blows them back to life.'"
The Master said: "The true command has already been issued."
Then the monk raised his sitting cloth and said: "The sword of Manjushri is right here. If you open your mouth or move your tongue, you'll lose your body and life. Please, Master, answer with words."
The Master tapped his meditation seat once.
The monk said: "Indeed, a skilled hand."
The Master said: "Don't misunderstand."
The Master then said: "Last night the bell rang, and practitioners all came here. Tonight the bell rings again; what business is there? The moonlight shines on the cold meditation room; stars are arranged around the North Star. If it were Tao Yuanming, he'd frown and go back."
After a long pause, the Master said: "Tonight, I won't let you people frown. Why? Because the heart does not betray others, the face has no reason to be ashamed."
The Master then descended from the seat.
入院上堂。僧問。昔日須達長者請佛說法側布黃金。今日和尚出世有何殊勝。師云。今日霜重。進云。恁麼則祥雲生檻外。瑞氣擁堦前。師云。㵎水和煙綠。青松帶月高。進云。且道世尊出世與和尚出世是同是別。師云闍梨定當看。進云作家宗師人天眼目。師云明眼衲僧一點瞞不得。師乃云。大眾。白雲嵓下古佛家風。碧嶂峯前道人活計。風生古嶺。月照前谿。松聲與翠竹交音。流水共山雲合彩。羚羊掛角覓東西。樓閣門開且喜相見。大眾。相見即不無。還相識麼。良久云。誰知席帽下。元是昔時人。下座。

施主請上堂云。祖師西來。特陳此事。自是諸人勾之不及。何故。若論此事。如琴在掌。善用指端。七條而緊急如風。十指而撥提如水。若纖塵有滯。音必犯於宮商。指擬安排。聞必差於視聽。或高高提素範。佛祖無立足之音。更乃盡令而了。歷劫聖凡絕迹。此者不辭品弄。略展微音。布五天動地之音。歌十聖不聞之韻。直得山搖海震華雨雲飛。百獸聽以驚惶。鬼神聞而膽懾。十方彌布。胡漢同風。猶落化門。未是本分時節。諸仁者。作麼生是本分時節。良久云。伯牙既喪。子期絕廣陵。謾奏秦時曲。下座。

上堂云。宗乘若舉凡聖絕踪。樓閣門開別戶相見。設使捲簾悟道。豈免傍觀。春遇桃華。重增眼病。所以古人道。向上一路千聖不傳。諸仁者。既是不傳。因甚陝府鐵牛走過新羅國裏去。乃喝一喝云。達者須知暗裏驚。
上堂云。種種幻化皆生如來圓覺玅心。祇如山僧拄杖子。且不從彼中生。何故。若從彼中生。爭得在山僧手裏。諸禪德。若知生處。祖佛向諸人脚跟下乞命。若也不知。山僧不免與諸人註破。擲下拄杖歸方丈。
上堂。舉僧問洛浦。學人欲歸鄉時如何。浦云。家破人亡。子歸何處。僧云恁麼則不歸去也。浦云。庭前殘雪日輪消。室內紅塵遣誰掃。師拈云。且道洛浦恁麼對它。甚麼處是指這僧歸路。若於這裏會得。可謂撒手歸家。若也不會。舉步更須子細。下座。

謝首座上堂云。古人道。積石成山。積水成流。積土成牆。積學成聖。積行成德。且道衲僧家積箇甚麼。良久云。少林雖不語。別是一家春。下座。
上堂云。昔日世尊在於靈山會上。入無量三昧。身心不動。是時天雨曼陀羅華。摩訶曼陀羅華。大眾。釋迦老子大似傍若無人。山僧今日雖是養子不及父。再不入無量三昧。何故。且免得天雨四華。遂拈起拄杖云。與諸人轉大法輪。以拄杖卓一下下座。
上堂云。多子塔前金光晃耀。白雲峯頂雨色朦朧。滿山華發正當春。一葉落時誰得意。歸根得旨。隨照失宗。不落見聞如何話會。大眾。且作麼生是不落見聞底道理。良久云。恰到春深處。鶯啼轉更多。下座。
上堂。舉大哥和尚在青林會下作園頭鋤地次。青林喚蘊闍梨。大哥應喏。林云作甚麼。哥云種菜。林云。盡大地是佛身子。向甚麼處下手。哥云。金鋤不動土。靈苗在處生。師拈云。還會麼。但得春風後。高低艸自青。下座。
上堂云。竺土大僊心。東西密相付。古人恁麼道了也。諸人作麼生會。若會得。西天此土共作一家。大地山河一任遨遊。若不會得。更須子細看。下座。
上堂。僧問。昨日有病。今日請師醫。師云無下手處。僧云暨不問過。師云且歸延壽寮。師乃云。金烏未昇玉兔已去。德山臨濟休更罔措。白雲半夜覆青山。天曉峯巒猶不露。諸仁者。作麼生是不露底句。良久云。露溼千峯冷。雲籠萬樹寒。下座。
結夏上堂云。諸佛垂範。眾聖主持。作千古之洪規。為萬代之龜鏡。三業淨時萬德果圓。六根撓而千生受苦。守持戒律禁足護生。譬霜雪之寒冰。若青霄之皎靜。相依共守。隱密護持。各任力行。時中不得污染。諸人到這裏。直饒滴水滴凍。須知有轉身玄路。良久云。雲開山色重重碧。日落天河處處青。久立珍重。
上堂云。諸佛出世。應病施方。祖師西來。守株待兔。直饒全提舉唱。猶如鑿壁偷光。設使盡令施行。大似空中擲劒。何故。不見古人道。不用求真。唯須息見。諸仁者。且道息箇甚麼見。良久云。靈雲不悟桃華旨。空使玄沙暗皺眉。下座。
上堂云。三日一風。五日一雨。德山臨濟。不勞更舉。下座。
上堂。舉僧問曹山。佛未出世時如何。云曹山不如。出世後如何。不如曹山。師云。古人道則一時閒道了也。須知玅峯頂上有一人。大不肯曹山恁麼道。諸人還識此人麼。若不識。山僧為儞諸人道破。良久云。寧可截舌。不犯國諱。
上堂。火裏臘人行步𦵇嶺。白眉尊者振錫還空。五天風範此中行。漢地清規西竺立。道原聖地。宗出千賢。萬里寸艸不生時。一任清風伴明月。諸仁者。且道萬里無寸艸。路頭在甚麼處。良久云。還會麼。木人遙指千峯處。鳥道難通翠色深。下座。
解夏上堂云。諸佛垂教。方便為門。祖師西來。直指人心。葢為眾生罪累棄本迷真。流浪輪回久而不反。於三惡道互為眷屬。未得道果已前。難報佛恩聖力。此者眾僧解夏之辰。諸佛歡喜之日。目連展救母之心。人天赴盂蘭之會。各運精誠。莊嚴勝會。傳大藏之靈文。滅塵沙之罪垢。共報父母六親。各獲平安之玅樂。諸仁者。報恩一句作麼生道。良久云。但知方寸無諸惡。便是時中報重恩。
上堂云。古人道。執事元是迷。契理亦非悟。作麼生免得去。良久云。久立。
上堂云。白雲不動。綠水無心。優曇華向火中開。無角石牛眠室臥。諸佛不般涅槃。祖師不來東土。曹谿路上幾人行。少室峯頭不見頂。且道絕頂一句作麼生道。良久云。夜來霜落處。今朝日始昇。下座。
因請典座上堂。即心是道。劃地為牢。向外馳求。轉沈魔界。設使善財頓悟。不免南詢。少室傳衣。何勞斷臂。直饒總不恁麼。須知有日用底事。諸仁者。作麼生是日用事。良久云。諸天辨供猶閒可。變造生熟事要人。下座。
歲旦上堂。良久拈拄杖卓一下云。大眾。塵劫來事被拄杖一時漏泄。若會得去。山僧走透無門。若會不得。當面瞞諸人去也。不見道。元正啟祚。萬物咸新。千年谿水貫滄溟。萬載靈松入雲去。毗盧樓閣善財見七佛家風。華藏海心普賢指一生玅果。塵塵現影。剎剎光明。主伴交參互興佛事。致使堯雲彌布舜雨膏萠。星辰交換於九宮。和氣淳風於萬國。雖然如是。衲僧家到這裏須絕消息始得。直饒絕消息。猶被露柱冷笑一場。諸仁者。且道露柱笑箇甚麼。良久云。還會麼。拾得來相賀。寒山空皺眉。
上元節日上堂。大眾。燈連鳳翅。月照娥眉。高低嵓谷起清風。遠近煙霞籠秀色。堯天日照。舜瑞鋪雲。漢明羅臺列於南郊。萬德顯金光於是日。致使塔籠雲漢燈耀長空。萬樹呈祥千江浪涌。雖然如是。向建化門中即可。若向祖師門下即白雲萬里。下座。
化主回上堂。承緣隔歲喜歸還。踏雪橫笻入舊山。華果既圓無影樹。白雲高臥水石閒。
上堂。雪覆青山空無少碧。江河粉浪嵓谷平盈。蜚鳥迷踪樵人斷路。獸伏穴閉魚鎖淵寒。萬里風生。千林翠折。漁家倚岸朱紫筵爐。古佛家風祥光帀地。雖然如是。於少室峯前片片用著。且應時應節一句作麼生道。良久云。白雲覆萬里。玉樹鎖千山。復乃頌曰。瑞色山河一色勻。佛家嵓敝聳連雲。松高翠重鶴停澀。玉馬嘶聲別是春。下座。
