### 示別南禪人

> Distinguishing Southern Chan Practitioners

佛祖因緣實非小可，第一須是痛念生死，稍有一豪懈怠，終無見道日子。故先輩以圜木為枕，枕轉即覺，三二十年於叢林中不變其志，方了辦道業。烏乎！禪人可不深省乎？今之禪人猶古之禪人，今古無間，始名學者。別南從興慶參學已來，晝夜蒲團上未曾間斷，但恨作枯禪默照之見，異日生死到來敵不過去，又是不提點、不警策之過也。故山僧凡見必厲聲詬罵，盍路頭不使委曲錯過眉梢眼角，一箇光明種子亦令掉轉竿頭踐佛祖之階，則成道或有日矣。噫！莫又滿園桃李孰，秋色五湖寬好。

> The Buddha's path is no trivial matter. First and foremost, one must deeply contemplate the reality of birth and death. The slightest trace of laziness will keep you from ever glimpsing the truth. That is why the ancients used round wooden pillows—when the pillow turned, they would wake, maintaining their resolve in the monastic community for twenty or thirty years without wavering, only then accomplishing the work of the Way. Alas! Shouldn't every practitioner reflect on this deeply? Practitioners today are no different from practitioners of old; when there is no gap between past and present, one can truly be called a student. Since Bie Nan began his studies at Xingqing Temple, he has never ceased his practice day or night upon the meditation cushion. Yet I regret that he clings to the view of silent illumination and dry meditation. When death arrives one day, he will not be able to withstand it—this too is a fault of not being vigilant, not being spurred on. Therefore, whenever I see him, this mountain monk scolds him harshly. Why? So that he does not miss the turning point at the corner of an eyebrow or the glance of an eye, so that even a single seed of light may turn the staff around and tread the steps of the Buddhas and patriarchs. Then, perhaps one day, enlightenment will be attained. Ah! Do not ask which peach or plum fills the garden—when autumn arrives, the colors of the five lakes are vast and wide.
