### 南明禪師語錄序

> Preface to the Record of Master Nanming

世尊謂眾生曰：「善知識者，是汝等莫大因緣，能令汝等明見佛性，離苦解脫。」一切眾生皆有佛性，第因業緣障蔽，遂致苦海飄流，故遇善知識宏機迅辯，如大將軍攝印登壇，生死浮沉操提在手，學者直下承當，曉得棒頭落處，猶聾振雷、猶瞽見日，其間承接燈傳，不容野狐疑似。嘗稽臨濟一宗，派衍于今極盛矣，然有異流而走名者，亦有正傳而韜寂者，如南明和尚親承衣缽于車溪，從上淵源授受甚確，聞谷、雪庭諸善知識無不虛左推尊之。南大師乃不欲語言文字滋世葛藤，見有述其語輒焚去，此其識見超出諸方遠矣，然令後起者不有玄微大師其人，誰與默識緒餘，存其萬一，衍唱真傳哉？玄大師不惟不負法乳之恩，其于莫大因緣能令眾生離苦解脫之旨，豈曰小補之哉？雖然，既無文字語言，此是何物？具眼者請分柝看。

> The World-Honored One said to all beings: "Spiritual teachers are an immensely important condition for you. They can enable you to clearly see your Buddha-nature and be freed from suffering and liberated." Every being possesses Buddha-nature, but it is obscured by the conditions of their karma, causing them to drift in an ocean of suffering. Therefore, encountering a spiritual teacher with sharp insight and swift eloquence is like a great general taking the seal of command and ascending the altar—life and death are held or released as they see fit. A student who directly accepts this teaching and recognizes the meaning behind the master's stick is like a deaf person hearing thunder or a blind person seeing the sun. Transmission of the lamp must not be polluted by imitations that deceive like wild foxes. Looking back at the Linji school, its branches have flourished immensely up to today. However, there are those who follow a deviant stream to gain fame, and others who hold the true transmission but remain hidden and silent. For instance, Chan Master Nanming personally received the robe and bowl from Chexi, and the origin and transmission of this lineage is very precise. All spiritual teachers, including Wengu and Xueting, showed him great respect. Master Nan did not wish that words and texts would create more complications in the world. Whenever he saw that someone had recorded his sayings, he would burn them. His insight far surpassed that of others. Yet, without the Venerable Xuanwei, who would later silently preserve the essence, keeping at least a fraction of it and propagating the genuine transmission of the lineage? Master Xuan not only did not betray the kindness of his teacher's dharma milk, but also fulfilled the meaning of beneficial conditions that can enable beings to be freed from suffering and liberated—this is no small contribution. That said, if there are no words or texts, what is this thing? Those with the eye of insight, please analyze this.
