English
Drizzling rain always arrives first in the human world, and auspicious snow is especially generous to hills and valleys. Fish chimes, drums, and bells alternate, echoing in the lofty *āraṇya* (monastery). Among hemp leaves, chickens, and dogs, one can occasionally see old farmers in the countryside. High ground always receives more sunlight, and plants thrive as a result; deep streams naturally contain ice springs, and the spring water gurgles. The elephant seems to be lying there, quiet and long-lived; the benevolent see it and call it benevolence. The divine dragon seems to be kept, living happily in the water; the wise see it and call it wisdom. How are the verdant pines and eastern ridges? Can the abundant spring waters and southern rivers be crossed by boat? The bronze pagoda comes from Yanjing (Beijing), along with various dragon banners and phoenix embroideries; the stone pagoda flies from Mount Emei, unafraid of the bird paths. Those who dig roads and dredge waterways, wood may lead to Chang'an (Shaanxi Province), and stone can also be used to transport water. Truly, it is a great miracle! Fields crisscross, wells are neatly arranged, and even if drought demons (*旱魃*) are encountered, there is no need to worry. The *stūpa* (Buddhist shrine) is round, facing the lonely pagoda wheel, appearing even more solemn. Below Qinglong Rock, there is no place to set foot; above Qingyang Mountain, there is no sky to climb. The *paṇḍu-śilā* (yellow rock) is still there, and persimmons will fly again. Where did Xiangyan (Zen monk of the Tang Dynasty) go? For whom is the bell stone hung? The Buddha's sun and the sun of transformation shine together, white clouds and Dharma clouds rise together. Imperial edicts arrive frequently, and the songs of cowherds are often heard. The lion string is played every day, and heavenly flowers flutter down; the whale's sound roars in the middle of the night, and human dreams are broken at the third watch. Forgetting the tricks, one naturally forgets external things; why must one have the nature of the sea to appreciate seagulls? Taming it is for better taming and grazing cattle. It is the season of gentle breeze, and the pond is full of lotus flowers. Who says there are ten trillion lotus suburbs? In the moonlit, quiet autumn wind, one forgets that this is the ancient Tanxi. Below are the city walls, and Zhengzhou (Henan Province) emerges from the Cao Gate. The bell sound of the upper realm is heard by those who have the affinity, as if in the clouds, faintly visible the appearance of heaven. The spirit is happy, and a pot of wine can satisfy; the vision is broad, and the thousands of islands and mountains can be seen. This is the beauty of the mountains and rivers! Secretly establishing the purpose, the Weiyang sect is known for this. This is the cave of the Dharma King, the nest of the lion, the place where Little Śākyamuni (referring to Weishan Lingyou) removed the dust from his eyes, the place where Li Junrong recognized the mud in the thorns. Paying homage from afar, going to Nanyang, supporting disciples, and assisting in the Dharma, the little servant of the Linji sect comes from Xijiang (Jiangxi Province), once conveying words for him. The iron rod Zhou Jingang must also pass east and west. Liu Tiemo is called the old cow. Deng Yinfeng should not say that he did not speak, Yunyan (Tansheng) has been teaching the true Dharma for thousands of years. The five schools of Dongshan (Liangjie) are unified into one, not sparing straw sandals, those who come here, treat the sick as sick, and treat the healthy as healthy. Daowu Zongzhi, falling on sound and color, or not falling on sound and color? That is Shushan (Kuangren) has worms in the rice. Shishuang (Qingzhu) and others as rice heads, two years are the same spring. Jiashan (Shanhui) serves as the *典座* (chief cook), Lingshan (Hui Shang) meets Hanshan and Shide. The ancient Buddha is called Xuefeng (Yicun), preaching the Dharma for forty years, and disciples often number in the thousands, the Dharma lineage is infinitely derived, and it is difficult to list all the outstanding ones. Since then, banners and flags have experienced thousands of years, and the heroic spirits are like hemp and millet. Probably because the generals and ministers who have left home cannot do everything, the Buddhas who practice Zen do not disdain everything, and the great sage of the West, Nifu (Confucius), also humbly retreats." ] } ``` -------------------------------------------------------------------------------- 美东土大乘气碧眼来梁选官选佛及第心空弃子弃亲释迦大孝吴人越人肥瘠相关江北江南家园到处执布袋以横行儿童嬉戏按莫邪而正令佛祖吞声阎浮化主天地间人今日狮王哮吼象子骈阗肃肃雍雍跄跄跻跻庞眉古貌博袖宽袍遇佛则骂见人有礼一棒一喝死人万劫偷心三要三玄开人顶门正眼得其体得其用父子投机如来禅祖师禅弟兄击节东厕上不说佛法钁头边全超事理咳嗽掉臂祖意西来持钵着衣衲僧行履不事章缝好穷性命人物之盛也绀殿凌云法堂蔽日影像辉煌磬铃交错而楼阁庄严也日出而作插锹刈茅戈矛谭笑日入而息经行坐卧除睡摄心不立文字间尔搜箧搜单匪曰枯禅盖为透顶透底不辞痛上加锥何惜瘢处炙艾狞拳辣掌杀人活人细语粗言皆归一义触着磕着谩尔承当得肉得皮未许入室而炉韝焰烈也初登戒品讲演条章毗尼堂以精律也年高腊长向往乐邦净业堂以燕老也饥馑洊臻流离猬集苾刍忍饿钵盂分羹其苦乐相均于穷子猫狸牛犬毙死茶毗弋子射夫拒诸境外其生死一体乎异类巨镬有二食可五千人来粤之东施出戎伯于上年之春金吾藩伯郡守邑侯璇榜交辉皆题于不年之内王公大人车马载道高人逸士屦履阗门丐受木叉今可半万计是主人之德致之也而异迹徽猷莫可枚举余寓榻久之殆不舍去古云入见圣道而悦岂欺我哉今日之盛也夫复何言但见残碑断碣狼藉堆头不无昔时之感游同庆寺中获睹祐祖断石噫其来旧矣其文载在邑志此最初一道文章不容不读旋得空印禅师片碣问其文则载在石门文字亦中兴一段胜事讵可泯没无闻何也湖之南湘之西今古尊宿咸以海内第一名蓝推之其御书阁 ```json { "translations": [ "现代汉语译本：", "美东的土著大乘佛教气息，碧眼的僧人来到梁朝（502-557）选拔官员，选拔佛陀，考中及第。他们心怀空性，抛弃子女，抛弃亲人，这正是释迦牟尼的大孝。吴地（今江苏南部）人和越地（今浙江）人，体态的肥胖和消瘦相互关联。无论是江北还是江南，家园随处可见。他们手执布袋，横行天下，儿童嬉戏，按着莫邪宝剑而端正法令。佛祖也只能吞声，阎浮提（Jambudvipa，指我们所居住的这个世界）的化主（教化之主）行走于天地之间。今天，狮子王怒吼，小象成群结队，庄严肃穆，雍容和谐，人们络绎不绝，步履轻快。他们面容古朴，眉毛长长，穿着宽大的袖袍。遇到佛就骂，见到人却彬彬有礼。一棒一喝，能让死人万劫偷心；三要三玄，能开启人的顶门正眼。得其体，得其用，父子之间投机默契，这才是如来禅和祖师禅。弟兄之间击节赞叹，即使在东厕之上，也不说佛法。在拿起锄头的时候，完全超越了事理。咳嗽一声，掉掉手臂，这就是祖师西来的真意。他们手持钵盂，身披袈裟，是真正的衲僧（指僧人）的行履，不事章缝，穷究性命。这里的人物真是兴盛啊！绀殿（指寺庙）高耸入云，法堂遮天蔽日，佛像辉煌，磬铃交错，楼阁庄严。日出而作，插锹刈茅，谈笑间充满戈矛之气；日入而息，经行坐卧，除了睡觉，都在摄心。他们不立文字，却在字里行间搜寻真谛。并非是枯禅，而是为了透顶透底地领悟。不辞痛上加锥，何惜瘢处炙艾。狞拳辣掌，杀人活人，细语粗言，都归于一个义理。触着磕着，任你承当。得到肉得到皮，还未允许你进入内室，这里的炉韝（指冶炼工具）火焰炽烈。初登戒品，讲演条章，毗尼堂（Vinaya Hall，指寺院中学习戒律的场所）以精研律法为要。年高腊长，向往乐邦，净业堂（Pure Land Hall，指寺院中修习净土法门的场所）以安养老年为目的。饥馑接连发生，流离失所的人像刺猬一样聚集。苾刍（Bhiksu，指比丘，即出家受具足戒的男子）忍着饥饿，用钵盂分羹，他们的苦乐与穷人、猫狸、牛犬的苦乐相同。毙死的尸体进行茶毗（荼毗，指火葬），弋子射夫被拒之境外，他们的生死与异类的生死是一体的。有两个大锅，可以供五千人食用。来自广东的东施，在去年的春天，戎伯（指地方长官）出现了。金吾（指京城卫戍部队）、藩伯（指地方长官）、郡守、邑侯，他们的题名交相辉映，都题写在不长的时间内。王公大人车马载道，高人逸士的鞋履填满了门庭。乞讨受木叉（指解脱）的人，现在可以达到近半万人，这是主人的德行所致啊！而奇异的迹象和美好的功绩，多得无法枚举。我在这里住了很久，几乎不想离开。古人说，入见圣道而喜悦，难道是欺骗我吗？今天的盛况，夫复何言？但见残碑断碣，狼藉地堆在地上，不免有对昔日的感慨。在游览同庆寺中，有幸看到了祐祖的断石，唉，它来历已久了！它的文字记载在县志中，这是最初的一道文章，不能不读。随后得到了空印禅师的片碣，问及上面的文字，则记载在石门文字中，也是中兴的一段盛事，怎么可以泯没无闻呢？为什么呢？湖的南边，湘的西边，今古的尊宿（指德高望重的僧人）都以海内第一名蓝来推崇这里，还有御书阁。" ], "english_translations": [ "English version:", "The indigenous Mahayana Buddhist atmosphere of eastern America, with blue-eyed monks arriving in the Liang Dynasty (502-557), selecting officials, selecting Buddhas, and passing the examinations. They embrace emptiness, abandoning children and relatives, which is precisely Shakyamuni's great filial piety. The people of Wu (present-day southern Jiangsu) and Yue (present-day Zhejiang) are interconnected in their physical states of being fat and thin. Whether in Jiangbei or Jiangnan, home is everywhere. They carry cloth bags, roaming the world, children playing, holding the Mo Xie sword and upholding the law. Even the Buddha can only swallow his voice, the lord of Jambudvipa (referring to the world we live in) walks between heaven and earth. Today, the lion king roars, and the elephant cubs gather in droves, solemn and harmonious, with people coming and going in quick steps. They have ancient faces, long eyebrows, and wear wide-sleeved robes. They scold the Buddha when they meet him, but are polite to people. A stick and a shout can make the dead steal the heart for countless eons; the three essentials and three mysteries can open the crown of the head. Attaining its essence and its use, father and son are in perfect harmony, which is the Tathagata Zen and the Patriarchal Zen. Brothers applaud in admiration, even in the eastern toilet, they do not speak of the Dharma. When picking up the hoe, they completely transcend the affairs and principles. A cough, a flick of the arm, this is the true meaning of the Patriarch's coming from the West. They carry alms bowls and wear kasayas (robes), the true conduct of a mendicant monk, not concerned with formalities, pursuing the essence of life. The people here are truly prosperous! The Cyan Hall (referring to the temple) soars into the clouds, the Dharma Hall covers the sky, the Buddha statues are magnificent, the chimes and bells intertwine, and the pavilions are solemn. Working at sunrise, planting shovels and cutting grass, laughter filled with the spirit of spears and halberds; resting at sunset, walking and sitting, except for sleeping, they are all focused on calming the mind. They do not establish words, but search for the truth between the lines. It is not dry meditation, but to understand thoroughly. Not hesitating to add an awl to the pain, why be stingy with moxibustion on scars. Fierce fists and spicy palms, killing and saving people, gentle words and rough words, all return to one meaning. Touching and bumping, let you bear it. Getting the flesh and getting the skin, you are not yet allowed to enter the inner chamber, the flames of the bellows here are fierce. Upon first entering the precepts, lecturing on the articles and chapters, the Vinaya Hall (referring to the place in the monastery where precepts are studied) focuses on the study of the law. Old in age and long in seniority, longing for the Land of Bliss, the Pure Land Hall (referring to the place in the monastery where the Pure Land Dharma is practiced) aims to provide for the elderly. Famine occurs frequently, and displaced people gather like hedgehogs. Bhikshus (referring to monks who have taken full ordination) endure hunger, sharing food with alms bowls, their suffering and joy are the same as those of the poor, cats, civets, cattle, and dogs.
