### 頌仰荅高峰大師六問六首有小序
> In Praise of Master Gaofeng with Six Questions and Six Gāthās with a short preface
高峰大師，勵頭陀行，力扶祖道之衰，有參學者，必先令然指受戒，方乃授以心要，其砥柱狂瀾之志，亦甚切矣。今觀室中垂問語，無非因病發藥，痛處加錐。近來禪德，每作一色邊事會去，辜負祖意，不既多乎？不揣疏愚，敬為仰荅，兼系一頌，醍醐毒藥，毒藥醍醐，一任具舌者之自辨也。
> Master Gaofeng practiced the discipline of an ascetic, striving vigorously to revive the declining Way of the patriarchs. Whenever someone came to him for study, he would first require them to burn their fingers as a token of sincere commitment, and only then would he transmit the essential teachings. His determination to halt the prevailing decadence was truly profound. Observing his recorded dialogues today, every word is like a remedy tailored to the illness, probing precisely where it hurts. In recent times, many Chan adepts have mistakenly treated these teachings as mere superficial matters, thus greatly betraying the intent of the patriarchs. Though I lack insight and wisdom, I respectfully offer my responses. I also attach a verse—whether it be nectar or poison, poison or nectar, I leave it to those with discerning tongues to judge for themselves.
問：大徹底人，本脫生死，因甚命根不斷？
> Question: A person who is fully enlightened has already transcended life and death. So why is the root of their life-force still intact?
仰荅：猶有徹底者在。
> Response: There is still one who has gone to the very end.
頌曰：
> The verse says:
理極情忘退步難，轉身一句葛藤繁。石人撫掌歌明月，寄語禪流莫浪看。
> When reason is exhausted and feelings fade, retreat is difficult; A single turn of phrase becomes entangled in vines. The stone man claps his hands, singing to the bright moon— I tell you, seekers of Zen, do not look at this lightly.
問：佛祖公案，袛是一箇道理，因甚有明與不明？
> Question: The Buddha's teachings are all the same principle. So why are some people enlightened to it while others are not?
仰荅：為是一箇。
> Answer: It is One.
頌曰：
> The verse says:
千差萬別勢嶐穹，樵子休商窮與通。側看是峰橫看嶺，只因身在此山中。
> Mountains of every shape and height tower high; A woodcutter, don't ask which is low or high! Seen from the side, a peak; from afar, a range— It's only because you're standing in the mountain.
問：大修行人當遵佛行，因甚不守毘尼？
> Question: If a great cultivator should follow the Buddha's way, why do they not keep the monastic rules (Vinaya)?
仰荅：邪法難扶。
> The Buddha replied: "False teachings are difficult to sustain."
頌曰：
> The verse says:
解脫翻成荊棘因，暗中觸寶漫傷身，自從拶入波離室，梵網光流劫外春。
> Liberation twisted into a tangled vine of thorns, in the dark you touch a jewel, blindly harming yourself. Since the day you were thrust into Upali's chamber, from the Brahma Net, light flows—spring beyond the kalpas.
問：杲日當空，無所不照，因甚被片雲遮卻？
> Question: The bright sun shines in the sky, illuminating everything without exception. So why is it hidden by a single cloud?
仰荅：瞥。
> Reply of the sage: A glance.
頌曰：
> The verse says:
緣見因明被暗欺，晴空何礙片雲移。欲從遮照分賓主，豈借毘嵐努力吹。
> Seeing arises from light, yet is deceived by darkness— The clear sky is never hindered by drifting clouds. If you try to distinguish host from guest through light and shade, Why would you need the mighty wind to blow?
問：人人有箇影子，寸步不離，因甚踏不著？
> Question: Everyone has a shadow that follows them everywhere, never leaving their side—so why can't they step on it?
仰荅：踏著，即非影子。
> Answer: If you step on it, it is not a shadow.
頌曰：
> The verse says:
認影迷真最可憐，不堪忽後又瞻前。晚來演若狂心歇，童子南詢腳底穿。
> Those who mistake a reflection for the true form are most pitiable, Unable to let go of past and future, anxious and unstable. But when in the evening the frantic mind finally settles, The young seeker's journey finds its true completion.
問：盡大地是箇火坑，得何三昧，不被燒卻？
> Question: The entire world is a blazing pit of fire. What level of meditation must one attain in order not to be burned by it?
仰荅：火光三昧。
> A response in a state of radiant stillness.
頌曰：
火光三昧最芬清，切忌從他覓化城。烹熟法身冬至後，黃鐘重奏一陽生。
> The Samadhi Blaze emits the purest fragrance; Do not seek an illusory city from others. After the winter solstice, the Dharmakaya is fully cooked; The yellow bell sounds again as the yang energy is born.
