### 機緣

> Opportunities and Conditions

老和尚一日晚參，僧纔出，尚劈脊一棒云：「秦時𨍏轢鑽。」師不覺失笑，尚便歸方丈，一眾擁入，師亦隨至，尚顧師云：「汝適來見箇甚麼道理？」師云：「春風纔動百花香。」尚便喝，師亦喝，尚又喝，師亦喝，尚云：「如何是你父母未生前本來面目？」師云：「見山是山，見水是水。」尚云：「忽然翻轉面皮又作麼生？」師云：「見山不是山，見水不是水。」尚云：「盡大地火發，汝向甚麼躲根？」師云：「火不自燒。」尚便打，師一喝便出。

> One evening at the evening meditation assembly, the Old Master asked a question. As soon as a monk stepped forward, the Master struck him on the back and said: "You're like an old drill bit from the Qin dynasty." The teacher in this account couldn't help but laugh. The Master then returned to his quarters, and the whole assembly followed him in. The teacher also followed. The Master turned to him and asked, "Just now, what truth did you see?" The teacher replied, "As the spring wind stirs, all flowers are fragrant." The Master shouted at him. The teacher shouted back. The Master shouted again, and the teacher shouted back. The Master then asked, "What is your original face before your parents were born?" The teacher replied, "I see mountains as mountains, and waters as waters." The Master asked, "What if this all turns inside out?" The teacher replied, "I see mountains not as mountains, and waters not as waters." The Master asked, "If the whole entire earth catches fire, where will you hide yourself?" The teacher replied, "Fire does not burn itself." The Master then struck him. The teacher gave a shout and walked out.

老和尚隨上堂，師出眾便喝，尚云：「諸佛未出世，祖師未西來，還有佛法商量也無？」師云：「枷上著杻。」尚云：「卸卻項上銕枷，道將一句來。」師一喝便出。

> The elderly master ascended the hall, and the teacher stepped forward and shouted. The master said, "Before all Buddhas appeared in the world, before the Patriarchs came from the West, was there still any Dharma to discuss?" The teacher replied, "Shackles upon fetters." The master said, "Remove the iron cangue from your neck—say one sentence." The teacher gave a shout and then left.

又一日，老和尚上堂，師出問：「把定乾坤，絲毫不漏，如何得不動而治，無為而化？」尚云：「今年雨水足，眼見有秋成。」師云：「法王法令已見全提，向上機關別請方便。」尚云：「九月築場圃，十月納禾稼。」師云：「猶是時人窠臼。」尚云：「何不高聲問將來？」師云：「鸞鳳不棲荊棘樹。」拂袖歸眾。

> Another day, the old master ascended the hall and began his teaching. The master approached and asked, "If the whole universe is fixed without the slightest gap, how can one govern without moving and transform without acting?" The master said, "This year's rainfall is sufficient; we can already see the autumn harvest." The master asked, "Your presentation of the Dharma king's decrees is already complete; for the profound and subtle turning points, please offer a different expedient." The master said, "In the ninth month, we prepare the threshing floor; in the tenth month, we gather the grain." The master said, "This is still clinging to conventional worldly patterns." The master said, "Why not speak up louder and ask?" The master said, "The phoenix does not perch on thorny branches." Then he flicked his sleeves and returned to the assembly.

回東寺受業，問：「清淨本然，云何忽生山河大地？」師云：「熟處難忘。」儗再問，師云：「轉見不堪。」

> Returning to the Eastern Monastery to continue his studies, he asked: "If the Original Nature is pure and perfect, how then do mountains, rivers, and the earth suddenly arise?" The Master replied: "What is deeply ingrained is hard to forget." As he was about to ask again, the Master said: "Further questioning only makes it worse."

師侍老和尚山行次，見一髑髏，尚問師：「髑髏在這裏，人在甚麼處？」師以腳踢髑髏云：「只在這裏。」

> As the Master was walking with the Old Monk in the mountains, they came across a skull. The Old Monk asked the Master, "The skull is here—where is the person?" The Master kicked the skull and said, "Right here."

老和尚一日因諸官員入山，請上堂。師首出眾，問云：「紅旗閃爍，點定龍蛇；青劍輝煌，截開凡聖。正恁麼時，為是肘臂符靈？為復毘盧印玅？」尚云：「看取令行時。」師云：「恁麼則喝散煙雲，捩轉霄漢，也不為分外。」尚云：「那箇男兒不丈夫？」師云：「快人一言，快馬一鞭。」搣坐具，歸眾。

> One day, an old master was invited to give a formal talk because several officials had come to the mountain. A monk stepped forward from the assembly and asked, "The red banner flashes, marking out dragons and snakes; the blue sword gleams, separating the ordinary from the sacred. At this very moment, is it the power of the forearm and charm, or the wonder of the Seal of Vairocana?" The master replied, "Watch when the command is carried out." The monk said, "If so, then shouting apart the clouds and smoke, and turning the heavens around, is not beyond our reach." The master said, "Which man is not a hero?" The monk replied, "A swift word for a swift person, a single whip for a fast horse." Then he folded his sitting cloth and returned to his place in the assembly.

老和尚一晚問師：「一句當天，八萬生死門永絕，是那一句？」師云：「風過樹頭搖。」尚又問：「秪如道：『撞著道伴交肩過，一生參學事畢。』此理如何？」師云：「可知禮也。」尚復問：「知是般事便休，作麼生是你知底事？」師云：「台州少鹽喫。」

> One evening, the old monk asked his master, "When a single phrase reaches the heavens, the eight myriad gates of birth and death are forever closed—what is that phrase?" The master said, "The wind passes, and the treetops sway." The monk asked again, "What about this saying: 'Meeting a fellow practitioner and passing shoulder to shoulder—the lifelong task of study is complete.' How does this principle stand?" The master said, "That is indeed proper courtesy." The monk then asked, "If knowing such a matter is enough, then what is it that you actually know?" The master said, "Taizhou is short on salt to eat."

次日，圓鑑居士薦嚴，請老和尚上堂，師出問：「昔年父母，今日兒孫，且道向甚處相見？」尚云：「風過樹頭搖。」師云：「莫將鶴唳誤作鶯啼。」尚云：「可知禮也。」師便喝，尚亦喝，師又喝，尚亦喝，師云：「擘開華嶽千重秀，放出黃河一道清。」便歸眾。

> The next day, layman Yuan Jian recommended Yan and invited the old master to give a lecture from the high seat. The master came forward and asked, "In past years, parents; today, children and grandchildren—tell me, where do they meet?" The master replied, "When the wind passes, the tree tops sway." The master said, "Do not mistake the crane's cry for the oriole's song." The master replied, "You know the ritual well." The master then shouted, and the master also shouted. The master shouted again, and the master shouted again. Then the master said, "Cleaving through the thousand layers of Mount Hua's beauty, releasing the clear current of the Yellow River." He then returned to the assembly.

檀越慶誕，請老和尚上堂，師問：「捩轉乾坤，呼回日月，移他方於此土，等一念于千齡，不假功勛，承誰恩力？」尚云：「曩謨無量壽。」師便禮拜，尚打云：「咦！」

> A patron’s birthday celebration invited the Elder Master to the hall. The Master asked: “Turning the world around, calling back the sun and moon, shifting another land to this place, making a single thought equal a thousand ages—if this requires no effort, whose power sustains it?” The Elder replied: “Namo Amitabha.” The Master then bowed. The Elder struck him and said: “Eh!”

次日上堂，師又問：「昨日承和尚有言：『是處是慈氏，無門無善財。』是否？」尚云：「是。」師云：「咦！」拂袖便行。

師一日豎起掌問老和尚：「開則成掌，五指參差。隨握拳云：闔則為拳，一無高下。還有喫得底麼？」尚便打。師云：「果然我為法王，於法自在。」尚又打。師云：「將謂！將謂！」拂袖便出。

師一日禮拜老和尚，尚拈起拄杖云：「這樣大底喫得多少？」師云：「某甲答這話不得。」尚便打。師云：「也是倚勢欺人。」尚又打云：「從來有些子。」師乃近前問訊云：「三十年後敢為流通。」
