### 頌古

> Praising the Ancients

世尊未離兜率，已降皇宮。未出母胎，度人已畢。

> The World-Honored One, before leaving Tusita Heaven, had already descended into the royal palace. Before emerging from his mother's womb, he had already completed the salvation of beings.

天高地迥意悠悠，一片皇風四百州。日日與君華下醉，更嫌何處不風流。

> The sky is high, the earth vast, thoughts drift endlessly— One imperial breeze sweeps across four hundred prefectures. Day after day, we toast beneath the blossoms, drunk together— What place could ever lack its charm and grace?

世尊因外道問：「不問有言？不問無言？」世尊良久據坐。外道讚云：「世尊大慈大悲，開我迷雲，令我得入。」歡喜作禮而去。阿難尋問：「外道有何所證而言得入？」世尊云：「如世良馬見鞭影而行。」

> The World-Honored One was once asked by a heretic: "Neither asking about words nor about silence?" The World-Honored One remained seated for a long while. The heretic praised him: "The World-Honored One, in great compassion and mercy, has parted the clouds of my confusion and allowed me to enter." Joyfully, he paid his respects and left. Ananda then asked: "What did the heretic gain that he claims to have entered?" The World-Honored One replied: "Like a fine horse in the world that moves at the mere shadow of the whip."

老胡曾未揮鞭影，良駟何從見影鞭？瞥爾機先窺見了，追風千里去翩翩。

> Old Hu never once raised his whip's shadow— How could a fine steed see the shadow of a whip? In a fleeting moment, the hidden trigger is glimpsed— Then off it races, a thousand miles on the wind, swift and free.

殃崛摩羅因持缽至一長者家，其家婦人正值產難，長者曰：「瞿曇弟子！汝為至聖，當有何法能免產難？」殃崛語長者曰：「我乍入道，未知此法，待我回問世尊，卻來相報。」及返，具事白佛，佛告殃崛：「汝速去報言：『我從賢聖法來，未曾殺生。』」殃崛奉佛語，疾往告之，其婦得聞，當時分免。

> Angulimala once went with his alms bowl to the house of a wealthy man, whose wife was in the midst of a difficult childbirth. The householder said, "Disciple of Gotama! You are a great sage—what method do you have that can relieve this birth hardship?" Angulimala replied to the householder, "I have only recently entered the path and do not yet know such a method. Let me return and ask the World-Honored One, then come back to inform you." Upon returning, he reported the matter in full to the Buddha. The Buddha told Angulimala, "Go quickly and tell them: 'I have come through the sage's teaching, and have never taken a life.'" Angulimala, following the Buddha's words, hurried back and delivered this message. Upon hearing it, the woman immediately gave birth safely.

蜂從華裏掠香飛，香掠枝頭兩股肥。無限馨香狼藉盡，路行人惹一身歸。諸禪伯，報君知，香在枝頭不在衣。

> A bee darts through the blossoms, gathering fragrance, Scent lingers on the branches, rich and full. Countless petals scatter their perfume recklessly, And passersby carry it home, clinging to their robes. You Chan practitioners, I tell you plainly: The fragrance dwells in the blossom, not in the robe.

讓和尚居南嶽時，馬祖住傳法院，日常坐禪。師知是法器，往問曰：「大德坐禪圖甚麼？」祖曰：「圖作佛。」師一日乃取一磚於彼菴前磨，祖曰：「磨此何為？」師曰：「磨作鏡。」祖曰：「磨磚豈得成鏡？」師曰：「坐禪豈得成佛？」祖曰：「如何即是？」師曰：「如牛駕車，車若不行，打車即是？打牛即是？」馬祖於是悟旨於言下，遂印心傳法，符般若多羅讖馬駒蹋殺天下人之語，南宗大闡於震旦。

> When the Master was residing at Nanyue, Mazu was staying at Chuanfa Hall, practicing seated meditation daily. The Master knew he was a vessel of great potential, so he went to ask him: "Great Virtue, what are you aiming for by sitting in meditation?" Mazu replied: "I am aiming to become a Buddha." One day, the Master picked up a brick and began polishing it in front of Mazu's hut. Mazu asked: "What are you doing with that?" The Master said: "Polishing it to make a mirror." Mazu said: "How can polishing a brick make a mirror?" The Master replied: "How can sitting in meditation make a Buddha?" Mazu asked: "Then what is the right way?" The Master said: "It is like an ox pulling a cart—if the cart does not move, do you hit the cart or hit the ox?" At these words, Mazu awakened to the truth. He received the mind-seal and inherited the Dharma, fulfilling the prophecy of Bodhidharma's disciple, and the Southern School of Zen flourished widely in China.

車運何曾在打牛？牛行端的打車休。劫前常運無私步，迥地遮天者一頭。

> The cart never struck the ox—why blame it? When the ox moves steadily, the cart naturally follows. Before the age of kalpas, it walked its selfless path, A single ox that blankets the earth and veils the sky.

百丈問黃檗：「甚麼處來？」檗曰：「山下採菌子來。」丈曰：「山下有一大蟲，汝還見麼？」檗便作虎聲，丈於腰下取斧作斫勢，檗約住便掌。丈至晚上堂曰：「大眾！山下有一大蟲，汝等諸人出入好看，老僧今日親遭一口。」後溈山問仰山：「黃檗虎話，子作麼生？」仰曰：「和尚如何？」溈曰：「百丈當時便合一斧斫殺，因甚麼到如此？」仰曰：「不然。」溈曰：「子作麼生？」仰曰：「不唯騎虎頭，亦解把虎尾。」溈曰：「寂子甚有險嵒之句。」

> Baizhang asked Huangbo, "Where have you come from?" Huangbo replied, "I went down the mountain to pick mushrooms." Baizhang said, "There’s a big tiger down the mountain—did you see it?" Huangbo then made the sound of a tiger. Baizhang reached for an axe at his waist and made a chopping motion. Huangbo grabbed him and gave him a slap. That evening, Baizhang addressed the assembly, saying, "Everyone, there’s a big tiger down the mountain. All of you, be careful when you come and go. Today, this old monk was bitten by it firsthand." Later, Guishan asked Yangshan, "What do you make of Huangbo’s tiger talk?" Yangshan replied, "What about you, Master?" Guishan said, "Baizhang should have just chopped him dead with one blow—why did it come to this?" Yangshan said, "Not so." Guishan asked, "What do you mean?" Yangshan replied, "Not only can you ride the tiger’s head—you can also grab its tail." Guishan said, "Sizi, your words are indeed steep and perilous."

爪牙獰，聲震吼，擒虎與縱虎，是誰羨好手。一斧斫兮一掌揮，間不容髮絕窠臼。窠臼絕，括地腥風一陣來，深深陷阱狠忙掘。

> Fierce claws and fangs, a thunderous roar— They capture the tiger, then set it free. Who envies such a skilled hand? One axe strike, one palm sweep— No room for even a hair's breadth, breaking every mold. The mold is broken; a stench-filled wind sweeps the earth, And deep traps are dug with ruthless haste.

臨濟上堂曰：「赤肉團上有一無位真人，常在汝等諸人面門出入，未證據者看看。」時有僧出問：「如何是無位真人？」師下繩床把住曰：「道！道！」僧擬議，師拓開曰：「無位真人是甚麼乾屎橛？」便歸方丈。

> Linji addressed the assembly, saying, "Within this mass of flesh there is a true person of no rank, constantly entering and leaving through your very faces. Those who have not yet realized it, take a look!" At that moment, a monk stepped forward and asked, "What is the true person of no rank?" The Master descended from his chair, seized the monk, and said, "Speak! Speak!" As the monk hesitated, the Master pushed him away and said, "What is the true person of no rank? A dried piece of shit!" Then he returned to his quarters.

肉團無位真人，面門出入好看。及乎證據將來，依舊毛髮滿面。

> The true person without a physical form dwells within, yet reveals itself through the gateway of the face. When sought after for proof, it still wears hair all over its face.

臨濟將示滅，謂眾曰：「吾滅後，不得滅卻吾正法眼藏。」三聖出曰：「怎敢滅卻和尚正法眼藏？」師曰：「已後有人問你，向他道甚麼？」聖便喝。師曰：「誰知吾正法眼藏向者瞎驢邊滅卻？」

> Linji, nearing his passing, addressed the assembly, saying, "After I am gone, do not let my true Dharma Eye be extinguished." Sansheng stepped forward and said, "How would we dare to extinguish the Master's true Dharma Eye?" The Master said, "When someone asks you about it later, what will you tell them?" Sansheng then gave a shout. The Master said, "Who would have thought that my true Dharma Eye would be extinguished by this blind donkey?"

正法眼，正法眼，彷彿烏梅黑兩點。臨濟苦死要傳付，三聖瞎驢鳴熱碗。鳴熱碗，兩箇黑漆桶，堪嗟共死款。

> The Eye of the True Dharma, the Eye of the True Dharma, Like two black drops of a dark plum. Linji suffered bitterly to pass it on, Sansheng, a blind donkey, braying over a hot bowl. Braying over a hot bowl— Two pitch-black buckets, Pitifully, together they faced death's charge.

風穴沼禪師因僧問：「如何是清涼山中主？」師云：「一句不遑無著問，迄今猶作野盤僧。」

> Master Fengxue Zhao, when a monk asked, "What is the master of Mount Qingliang?" the Master replied, "One phrase unanswered, since Asanga could not ask, to this day he remains a wandering monk in the wilds."

野盤僧，野盤僧，襤襤毿毿得人憎。者邊那邊，躲跟過日。休夏自恣，不守規繩。賺均提捏鬼怪，瞞無著打葛藤。咦！典型師範無些子，七佛之師尚可稱。

> A wild forest monk, a wild forest monk, Tattered and frayed, drawing people's disgust. On this side and that side, Ducking and dodging through the days. Ending the summer retreat on his own terms, Not keeping to rules and bounds. Deceiving Jun Ti by conjuring phantom tricks, Bamboozling Asanga with tangled vines. Huh! Though his style of teaching lacks a bit of form, Even the teacher of the Seven Buddhas could earn that name.

雲門因僧問：「和尚年多少？」師曰：「七九六十八。」僧曰：「為甚麼七九六十八？」師曰：「我為你減卻五年。」

> Yunmen was asked by a monk, "How old are you, Master?" The Master said, "Seven times nine is sixty-eight." The monk asked, "Why is seven times nine sixty-eight?" The Master said, "For you, I've subtracted five years."

七九六十八，一語無縫罅。不用險嵒句，問東便西荅。老倒韶陽大無端，是沙是土眼裏撒。返覆數來百千番，依舊當年李八伯。

> Seventy-nine times sixty-eight makes one phrase without a single gap. No need for dangerous cliff-like words; ask east, and the answer comes west. Old and upside-down, Shaoyang acts without reason — scattering sand and dirt into the eyes. Turning it over and over, hundreds and thousands of times, still the same old Li Eight Hundred from those years.

龍牙遁禪師因僧問：「古人得箇甚麼道理，便休去歇去？」師曰：「如賊入空室。」

> Zen Master Longya Dun was asked by a monk, "What principle did the ancients realize that they could simply stop and rest?" The Master replied, "Like a thief entering an empty room."

賊入空房何可得？七珍八寶一時拏。從茲直下便休去，歸到家山日未斜。

> A thief enters an empty house—what could he gain? The seven jewels and eight treasures are seized in an instant. From here, let go completely and cease entirely— Return to your homeland while the sun has not yet set.

乾峰和尚，上堂。「法身有三種病、二種光，須是一一透得，始解歸家穩坐。須知更有向上一竅在。」雲門出問：「菴內人為甚麼不知菴外事？」師呵呵大笑。門曰：「猶是學人疑處。」師曰：「子是甚麼心行？」門曰：「也要和尚委悉。」師曰：「直須與麼始解穩坐。」門應諾諾。

> Master Qianfeng took the teaching seat and said, "The Dharma body has three kinds of illness and two kinds of light. You must see through each one before you can return home and sit securely. But you should also know there is one more subtle point beyond even that." Yunmen came forward and asked, "Why doesn't the person inside the hut know what's happening outside the hut?" The Master laughed heartily. Yunmen said, "This is still where I'm stuck." The Master said, "What kind of mindset is that?" Yunmen said, "I just want you to confirm it, Master." The Master said, "You must truly be like this before you can sit securely." Yunmen responded, "Yes, yes."

人間天上數如麻，弄鬼精魂事可嗟。古墓鐵蛇頭戴角，嵒前石虎尾吒沙。動絃別曲風雷合，輥芥投針日月拏。打破韶陽菴外句，木人夜半照菱華。

> Beings in heavens and among humans are as countless as hemp seeds, yet their ghostly antics and restless spirits are truly pitiful. An iron snake in an ancient tomb wears horns on its head; a stone tiger before the cliff drags its tail through the sand. Plucking a string to a different tune, wind and thunder join as one; rolling a mustard seed to strike a needle, sun and moon are grasped. Smash through the words outside Shaoyang's hut— a wooden man at midnight illuminates the water chestnut flower.

麻谷參忠國師，繞禪床三匝，振錫而立。國師曰：「汝既如是，吾亦如是。」谷又振錫，國師叱曰：「者野狐精出去！」

> Mayu came to pay his respects to National Teacher Zhongguo. He walked around the master's meditation platform three times, then shook his staff and stood still. The National Teacher said, "Since you are like that, I am like that too." Mayu shook his staff again. The National Teacher scolded him: "You wild fox spirit, get out!"

振錫繞床，如是咄叱。照用同時，箭鋒相直。平似砥中險似嵒，甜如黃檗苦如蜜。下稍突出野狐精，華嶽崩騰海水立。咄！

> He shook his staff and circled the meditation platform, scolding and shouting like this. Illumination and function arise together, arrow tips meeting head-on. Level as a whetstone, yet treacherous as a cliff; sweet as yellow cork-tree bark, bitter as honey. At the end, a wild fox spirit suddenly leaps forth—Mount Hua collapses and churns, the ocean waters stand upright. Ho!

溈山祐禪師示眾曰：「如許多人，秖得大機，不得大用。」仰山舉此語問山下菴主曰：「和尚恁麼道，意旨如何？」主曰：「更舉看。」仰擬再舉，被菴主蹋倒。仰歸舉似師，師呵呵大笑。

> Chan Master Weishan You addressed the assembly, saying, "So many people gain the great mechanism, but not the great function." Yangshan brought up these words and asked the hermit at the foot of the mountain, "What was the master's meaning in saying this?" The hermit said, "Say it again." As Yangshan was about to repeat it, the hermit kicked him down. Yangshan returned and told the master what had happened. The master laughed heartily.

仰山解舉不解用，菴主解用不解舉，大用堂堂總蹉過，笑倒山前老水牯。

廬山永安禪師因僧問：「脫籠頭卸角馱來時如何？」師曰：「換骨洗腸投紫塞，鴈門切忌更銜蘆。」

換骨洗腸投紫塞，從空放下一身輕。搏風好擊南溟水，據鼎休嘗染指羹。白月無心來碧沼，清光不語到檐楹。一回撲碎懸嵒後，百尺竿頭撒手行。

長慶暹禪師因僧問：「離上生之寶剎，登延聖之道場。如何是不動尊？」師曰：「孤舟載明月。」僧曰：「忽逢櫓櫂俱停時又作麼生？」師曰：「漁人偏愛宿蘆華。」

出門千里沒行車，倒跨楊岐三腳驢。月下忽逢張果老，風前攜手笑歸廬。

九峰乾禪師因僧問：「古人道：『直得不恁麼來者，猶是兒孫。』意旨如何？」師曰：「古人不謾語。」僧曰：「如何是來底兒孫？」師曰：「猶守珍御在。」僧曰：「如何是父？」師曰：「無家可坐，無世可興。」

珍御盡將揚糞掃，寶几一一撒塵灰。那邊不坐空王殿，聲色堆頭絕點埃。

洛浦安禪師因僧問：「諸聖恁麼來時，將何供養？」師曰：「土宿雖持錫，不是婆羅門。」

開心碗貯鐵釘飯，無底盤盛木札羹。不遇風生席上客，只成虛設對秋清。

雲峰悅禪師因僧問：「抱璞投師，請師雕琢。」師曰：「不雕琢。」僧曰：「為甚麼不雕琢？」師曰：「雲從龍，風從虎。」

雲從龍，風從虎，方圓一一就規矩。斧斤不施器琢成，雲峰之技超今古。君不見，儵忽鑿開混沌竅，竅成混沌旋復死。

靈雲志勤禪師因見桃華悟道，有偈曰：「三十年來尋劍客，幾回落葉又抽枝。自從一見桃華後，直至而今更不疑。」玄沙聞曰：「諦當！甚諦當！敢保老兄未徹在。」

尋劍人，尋劍人，桃華一見喪家珍。明明無悟卻言悟，惹得旁人簸觜唇。觜唇簸了是非起，三十年功付流水。從今再不悟桃華，者場煩惱自討底。

洞山初禪師因僧問：「赤水求珠，猶是人間之寶；和雲唱出，固非格外之譚。未審今日將何示人？」師曰：「夜聞祭鬼鼓，朝聽上灘歌。」

灘歌祭鼓，義越群言。窮萬法本，廓千聖源。禪人到此如不會，一任紛紛格外論。

長沙岑和尚與仰山翫月次，山曰：「人人盡有者箇，秖是用不得。」師曰：「恰是倩汝用。」山曰：「汝作麼生用？」師劈胸與一蹋，山曰：「㘞！直下似箇大蟲。」

兩兩普州白拈客，夜深天上竊蟾蜍。而今犯出難輕赦，一併和贓捉敗渠。

黑眼和尚因僧問：「如何是不出世底師？」師曰：「善財拄杖子。」

條條七尺箇山藤，斗笠腰包力荷承。煙水百城攜遠涉，妙峰孤頂挈同登。世雄徒把慈門啟，勝熱空將智焰騰。五十三人承事遍，歸來依舊倚門扃。

葉縣省禪師因僧問：「如何是世尊不說說？」師曰：「觀音勢至，引到西方。」僧曰：「如何是迦葉不聞聞？」師曰：「涅槃山側畔，香煙滿乾坤。」

勢至觀音為引路，萋萋芳艸送君去。除非自解倒騎驢，一生不著隨人後。

玄沙侍雪峰遊山次，峰指面前地曰：「者一片地好造箇無縫塔。」師曰：「高多少？」峰乃顧視上下。師曰：「人天福報即不無，和尚若是靈山授記，未夢見在。」峰曰：「你又作麼生？」師曰：「七尺八尺。」

渾渾圇圇，玲玲瓏瓏，面面連輝接影，層層霽月光風。雪峰起模畫樣，玄沙合頂完封。天地未興先已就，徒然忙殺兩禪翁。

趙州因僧問：「學人乍入叢林，乞師指示。」師曰：「喫粥了也未？」曰：「喫粥了也。」師曰：「洗缽盂去。」僧忽然大悟。

喫粥了也洗缽畢，長連床上展腳睡。若也於中更言悟，畫蛇添足我不會。

投子和尚因僧問：「能所俱忘時如何？」師曰：「無與麼事，莫作與麼知解。」

飲徹雲根蝃蝀東，金輪天子下瑤空。安南塞北分諸國，盡在吾王化育中。

東寺如會禪師因仰山問：「借一路過那邊，還得麼？」師曰：「大凡沙門不可秖一路也，別更有麼？」仰良久，師卻問：「借一路過那邊，還得麼？」仰曰：「大凡沙門不可秖一路也，別更有麼？」師曰：「秖有此。」仰曰：「大唐天子決定姓金。」

半合半開，雙暗雙明。一毫端上，往復縱橫。東寺山頭立，仰山海底行。迢迢空劫無人到，天子姓金不可名。

笑嵒寶和尚因僧問：「一言道盡，更不容其言時如何？」師曰：「武陵溪畔杜鵑語，十里桃華血染紅。」

痛淚洪咽泣已乾，血啼猶復灑涓涓。庭華亂落春歸去，苦雨凄風好自憐。

天童密雲悟和尚因僧問：「如何是生死業？」師曰：「即汝是。」「如何是涅槃心？」師曰：「即汝是。」僧禮拜起，師以拄杖指云：「去！」僧喜躍而出。

即汝是，汝即是，栗棘蓬，劈面擲。劈面一擲橫吞卻，虛空赤體皮膚脫。復云：「險。」

弘覺老和尚住大覺日，牽驢巡堂一匝，命眾下語，眾下語已，仍以艸一束拋向眾前，眾不能荅，乃自代前語曰：「寶御珍裝猶尚棄，誰能歷劫傍他門？」代後語：「但作驢鳴。」

碎玉焚珍下鳳臺，行於異類且輪回。一回卸卻娘生褲，幾度曾將正眼開。馬字驢名隨處現，人間天上豈能該。雖然行盡畜生行，不識誰酬畜報來。
