### 別古

> Ancient Past

舉：「僧問乾峰：『十方薄伽梵、一路涅槃門，未審路頭在什麼處？』峰以拄杖劃一劃云：『在這裡。』僧復請益雲門，門拈起扇子云：『扇子𨁝跳上三十三天，築著帝釋鼻孔，東海鯉魚打一棒，雨似盆傾。』會麼？」

> A monk asked Qianfeng: "All the Buddhas in the ten directions share a single path to Nirvana. I wonder, where is the entrance to that path?" Qianfeng drew a line on the ground with his staff and said, "Right here." Later, the monk asked Yunmen about it. Yunmen picked up a fan and said, "This fan leaps up to the Heaven of the Thirty-Three, taps the nose of Indra, strikes the carp of the Eastern Sea with a single blow— and rain pours down like an overturned basin." Do you understand?

別云：「古今皆謂二老善辯來機，殊不知他錯下註腳。忽有人問山僧：『十方薄伽梵、一路涅槃門，未審路頭在什麼處？』但向他道：『問處甚分明。』」

> Some say: "People throughout the ages have praised these two masters for skillfully discerning the minds of those who came to them, but they fail to realize that they made a critical mistake in their approach. If someone were to ask me, 'All Buddhas in the ten directions enter through the single gate of Nirvana—where exactly is that gate?' I would simply reply, 'Your question itself is already perfectly clear.'"

舉：「汾州善昭禪師示眾云：『識得拄杖子，行腳事畢。』」

> The Venerable Shan Zhao of Fenzhou addressed the assembly, saying: "Once you truly understand this staff, your journey as a wandering monk is complete."

別云：「崇寧不然，大笑一聲！他要識得，高掛缽囊、拗折拄杖。」

> Do not say: "Chongning would not agree. Let out a great laugh! If he truly understands, he will hang up his begging bowl high and snap his staff in two."

舉：「南泉與杉山向火次，泉云：『不用指東畫西，本分事直下道將來。』杉以火箸插向爐內，泉云：『直饒如是，猶較王老師一線道。』又如前問趙州，州遂畫一圓相，中心點一點，泉云：『直饒如是，猶較王老師一線道。』」

> A case is cited: "Nanquan and Sanshan were warming themselves by the fire. Nanquan said, 'No need to point east or draw west. Speak directly about the fundamental matter.' Sanshan took the fire tongs and stuck them into the brazier. Nanquan said, 'Even if it's like this, you're still a hair's breadth away from Old Teacher Wang.' Again, he asked Zhaozhou the same question. Zhaozhou then drew a circle and placed a dot in the center. Nanquan said, 'Even if it's like this, you're still a hair's breadth away from Old Teacher Wang.'"

別云：「王老師卻被一線縛住了也。」

> Do not say: "Teacher Wang has been bound by a single thread."

舉：「寒山云：『吾心似秋月，碧潭光皎潔，無物堪比倫，教我如何說？』保福權云：『吾心似燈籠，點火內外紅，有物堪比倫，來朝日出東。』龍池有老和尚云：『吾心閃爍見，猶把扇遮面，比倫不比倫，雲雷鼓掣電。』」

> A case was raised: "Hanshan said: 'My mind is like the autumn moon, clear and bright over the emerald pool. Nothing can compare to it—how can I speak of it?' Baofu Quan said: 'My mind is like a lantern, lit from within and glowing red all around. There is something that can compare—tomorrow's sunrise in the east.' An old monk from Longchi said: 'My mind flickers into view, yet holds a fan before its face. Whether comparable or not—clouds rumble, thunder cracks, lightning flashes.'"

別云：「吾心似片光，大地露堂堂，處處堪比倫，分明誰覆藏？」
