..續本文上一頁 if you want to accord with dharma, just be men of great resolve. If you just shilly-shally spinelessly along, you”re good for nothing.Just as a cracked jug is unfit to hold ghee, so he who would be a great vessel must not be taken in by the deluded views of others. Make yourself master everywhere, and wherever you stand is the true [place].
“Whatever comes along, don”t accept it. One thought of doubt, and instantly the demon [māra] enters your mind. Even a bodhisattva, when in doubt, is taken advantage of by the demon of birth-and-death. Just desist from thinking, and never seek outside. If something should come, illumine it. Have faith in your activity revealed now—there isn”t a thing to do.
“One thought of your mind produces the three realms and, in accordance with causal conditions and influenced by circumstances, the pision into the six dusts takes place. What is lacking in your present responsive activity! In an instant you enter the pure, enter the dirty, enter the Tower of Maitreya, enter the Land of the Three Eyes, and everywhere you travel all you see are empty names.”
17問、如何是叁眼國土。師雲、我共爾入淨妙國土中、著淸淨衣、說法身佛。又入無差別國土中、著無差別衣、說報身佛。又入解脫國土中、著光明衣、說化身佛。此叁眼國土、皆是依變。約經論家、取法身爲根本、報化二身爲用。山僧見處、法身即不解說法。所以古人雲、身依義立、土據體論。法性身、法性土、明知是建立之法、依通國土。空拳黃葉、用诳小兒。蒺藜菱刺、枯骨上覓什麼汁。心外無法、內亦不可得、求什麼物。爾諸方言道、有修有證。莫錯。設有修得者、皆是生死業。爾言六度萬行齊修。我見皆是造業。求佛求法、即是造地獄業。求菩薩、亦是造業。看經看敎、亦是造業。佛與祖師、是無事人。所以有漏有爲、無漏無爲、爲淸淨業。有一般瞎禿子、飽吃飯了、便坐禅觀行、把捉念漏、不令放起、厭喧求靜、是外道法。祖師雲、爾若住心看靜、舉心外照、攝心內澄、凝心入定、如是之流、皆是造作。是爾如今與麼聽法底人、作麼生擬修他證他莊嚴他。渠且不是修底物、不是莊嚴得底物。若敎他莊嚴、一切物即莊嚴得。爾且莫錯。道流、爾取這一般老師口裏語、爲是眞道、是善知識不思議、我是凡夫心、不敢測度他老宿。瞎屢生、爾一生祇作這個見解、辜負這一雙眼。冷噤噤地、如凍淩上驢駒相似。我不敢毀善知識、怕生口業。道流、夫大善知識、始敢毀佛毀祖、是非天下、排斥叁藏敎、罵辱諸小兒、向逆順中覓人。所以我于十二年中、求一個業性、知芥子許不可得。若似新婦子禅師、便即怕趁出院、不與飯吃、不安不樂。自古先輩、到處人不信、被遞出、始知是貴。若到處人盡肯、堪作什麼。所以師子一吼、野幹腦裂。道流、諸方說、有道可修、有法可證。爾說證何法、修何道。爾今用處、欠少什麼物、修補何處。後生小阿師不會、便即信這般野狐精魅、許他說事、繋縛人、言道理行相應、護惜叁業、始得成佛。如此說者、如春細雨。古人雲、路逢達道人、第一莫向道。所以言、若人修道道不行、萬般邪境競頭生。智劍出來無一物、明頭未顯暗頭明。所以古人雲、平常心是道。大德、覓什麼物。現今目前聽法無依道人、曆曆地分明、未曾欠少。爾若欲得與祖佛不別、但如是見、不用疑誤。爾心心不異、名之活祖。心若有異、則性相別。心不異故、即性相不別。
Someone asked, “What about the “Land of the Three Eyes”
”
The master said, “When you and I together enter the Land of Pure Mystery we put on the robe of purity and preach as the dharmakāya buddha; when we enter the Land of Nondifferentiation we put on the robe of nondifferentiation and preach as the saṃbhogakāya buddha; when we enter the Land of Emancipation we put on the robe of brightness and preach as the nirmāṇakāya buddha. These Lands of the Three Eyes are all dependent transformations.
“According to the masters of the sutras and śāstras, the dharmakāya is regarded as basic substance and the saṃbhogakāya and nirmāṇakāya as function. From my point of view the dharmakāya cannot expound the dharma. Therefore a man of old said, “The [buddha-]bodies are posited depending upon meaning; the [buddha-]lands are postulated in keeping with substance.” So we clearly know that the dharma-nature body and dharma-nature land are fabricated things, based on dependent understanding. Empty fists and yellow leaves used to fool a child! Spiked gorse seeds! Horned water chestnuts! What kind of juice are you looking for in such dried-up bones!
“Outside mind there”s no dharma, nor is there anything to be gained within it. What are you seeking
Everywhere you say, “There”s something to practice, something to obtain.” Make no mistake! Even if there were something to be gained by practice, it would be nothing but birth-and-death karma. You say, “The six pāramitās and the ten thousand [virtuous] actions are all to be practiced.” As I see it, all this is just making karma. Seeking buddha and seeking dharma are only making hell-karma. Seeking bodhisattvahood is also making karma; reading the sutras and studying the teachings are also making karma. Buddhas and patriarchs …
