### 佛敏禪師語錄序

> Preface to the Record of Master Fomin

佛氏之教，玄遠而理深，世有茫然不解其說者，固習之相遠耳。間有能尋求於皮膚之際者，亦惟以堅忍苦行，能舍一切，遂謂西來之大義止此矣。而於如來甚深之道，未之所得而得者，毫釐千里也。且如塵根難淨，凡想易萌，則非如來所示拈花之旨，安能滌垢而去穢哉？

> The teachings of the Buddha are profound and deep in meaning. Some people in the world are utterly confused by them—this is simply because their habits and mindsets are so far removed from the truth. Occasionally, there are those who manage to grasp only the surface level, believing that the core message from the West (Buddhism) lies solely in enduring hardship, practicing diligently, and renouncing everything. But they remain far from the true, profound path of the Tathagata. For a single mistaken understanding can lead to an error as vast as the distance between heaven and earth. Moreover, it is difficult to purify the defilements of the senses and easy for ordinary thoughts to arise. Without the enlightened teaching of the Tathagata—such as the subtle message conveyed by the Flower Sermon (the silent transmission of mind)—how could we ever cleanse our impurities and remove our stains?

佛敏禪師，秦之天水人也。少讀儒書，長入梵剎，精研內典，了悟禪機。早得草堂之傳，行道於關西諸剎，屢登高座，闡示奧義，如陽和之消冰，涼雨之解暑，無不沾其益也。門人性通等，集語錄若干卷，授之梓人，特請余序。余高陽酒徒也，素不深於禪理，乃勉強搦管，正如門外漢說屋裏話，未免似夢中囈語耳。聞夫大顛、佛印輩，與昌黎、眉山諸君子，斯文往來，游戲三昧，蓋不拋卻這個，亦不執卻這個。其所謂無可離、無可著，藥是病、病是藥者，心印相傳，掃除文字。我於敏和尚，已見其當面棒喝，頂門一針，以起夫斯世之茫茫不解者深矣。敬述數語，以引簡端。

> Master Chan Master Fommin was a native of Tianshui in Qin Province. In his youth he studied Confucian texts, and in adulthood entered a Buddhist monastery, where he deeply investigated the inner scriptures and thoroughly awakened to the essence of Chan. Having received the transmission from Master Caotang early on, he taught in various monasteries west of the Pass, often ascending the high seat to expound profound meanings—like the spring sun melting ice or cooling rain relieving heat, none who heard him failed to benefit. His disciple Xingtong and others compiled several volumes of his recorded sayings, entrusted them to the printer, and specially asked me to write a preface. I am a drunkard from Gaoyang, never deeply versed in Chan principles. Forcing myself to take up the brush is like an outsider speaking of insider affairs—nothing but mutterings in a dream. I have heard that great masters like Dadian and Foyin exchanged refined writings and played in samadhi with cultivated gentlemen such as Changli and Meishan. They neither threw away the essential nor clung to it. Their saying—"nothing to leave behind, nothing to hold onto; medicine is illness, illness is medicine"—was a transmission of mind-seal that swept away words. In Master Min, I already see his direct teaching—a staff struck face-to-face, a needle piercing the crown—to deeply awaken those lost in the world's confusion. Here I respectfully offer a few words as an introduction.
