English version The Record of Zen Master Wenyi of Qingliang Temple in Jinling Compiled by Shramana Yu Feng Yuanxin of Jingshan, Guo Ningzhi, the Master of No-Land Land The Master, named Wenyi, was a son of the Lu family in Yuhang. At the age of seven, he was tonsured under Zen Master Quanwei of Zhitong Temple in Xinding. In his youth, he received the full precepts at Kaiyuan Temple in Yuezhou. At that time, Vinaya Master Xijue was flourishing at Yuwang Temple in [郧-口+刀] Mountain, Mingzhou. The Master went to listen and study, deeply investigating its subtle meaning. He also extensively explored Confucian classics and frequented the gatherings of literati. Master Xijue praised him as 'our school's Zixia and Duanmuqi' (both disciples of Confucius, known for their literary talents). Once the Master's profound insight was triggered, he abandoned all mundane affairs and traveled south with his staff. Arriving in Fuzhou, he visited Zen Master Changqing but did not attain great enlightenment. Later, he and Shaoxiu and Fajin planned to leave the mountains. Passing by Dizang Temple, they were hindered by heavy snow and rested briefly by the stove. Zen Master Dizang asked, 'Where are you going on this journey?' Master Wenyi said, 'To travel on foot.' Zen Master Dizang asked, 'What is this matter of traveling on foot?' Master Wenyi said, 'I don't know.' Zen Master Dizang said, 'Not knowing is the most intimate.' Later, the three of them discussed the *Zhao Lun* (The Treatises of Zhao), reaching the point 'Heaven and earth share the same root with me.' Zen Master Dizang asked, 'Are the mountains, rivers, and the great earth the same as or different from you, Venerable?' Master Wenyi said, 'Different.' Zen Master Dizang raised two fingers. Master Wenyi said, 'The same.' Zen Master Dizang raised two fingers again and then left. When the snow cleared, Master Wenyi and the others bid farewell. Zen Master Dizang saw them off at the door and asked, 'Venerable, you usually say that the three realms are only mind, and all phenomena are only consciousness.' Then he pointed to a stone in the courtyard and said, 'Tell me, is this stone inside the mind or outside the mind?' Master Wenyi said, 'Inside the mind.' Zen Master Dizang said, 'Traveler, what reason do you have for placing a stone inside your mind?' Master Wenyi was at a loss for words and could not answer. He then put down his bag and sat down at Zen Master Dizang's seat, seeking guidance and resolution. For nearly a month, Master Wenyi presented his views and explained principles every day. Zen Master Dizang said to him, 'The Dharma is not like that.' Master Wenyi said, 'I am truly at the end of my words and reasoning.' Zen Master Dizang said, 'If we talk about the Dharma, everything is already complete.' Upon hearing these words, Master Wenyi suddenly attained great enlightenment. --------------------------------------------------------------------------------

因议留止。进师等。以江表丛林欲期历览。命师同往。至临川。州牧请住崇寿院。   开堂。日中坐茶筵未起。时僧正白师云。四众已围绕。和尚法座了也。师云。众人却参真善知识。少顷升堂。僧问。大众云集。请师举唱。师云。大众久立。乃云。众人既尽在此。山僧不可无言。与大众举一古人方便。珍重。便下座。子方上座。自长庆来。师举长庆棱和尚偈问云。作么生是万象之中独露身。子方举拂子。师云。恁么会又争得。云和尚尊意如何。师云。唤什么作万象。云古人不拨万象。师云。万象之中独露身。说甚么拨不拨。子方豁然悟解。述偈投诚。自是诸方会下。有存知解者。翕然而至。始则行行如也。师微以激发。皆渐而服膺。海参之众。常不减千计。   上堂。大众立久。乃云。祇恁么便散去。还有佛法道理也无。试说看。若无。又来这里作么。若有。大市里人丛处亦有。何须到这里。诸人。各曾看还源观百门义海华严论涅槃经诸多策子。阿那个教中。有这个时节。若有。试举看。莫是恁么经里。有恁么语。是此时节么。有甚么交涉。所以道。微言滞于心首。常为缘虑之场。实际居于目前翻为多相之境。又作么生得翻去。若也翻去。又作么生得正去。还会么。莫祇恁么念策子。有甚么用处。僧问。如 现代汉语译本: 于是因为商议挽留而停止了行程,慧寂禅师一行人本打算游历江浙一带的丛林寺院,州牧邀请慧寂禅师住在崇寿院。 开堂说法时,中午的茶会还未结束,僧正白师说道:‘四众弟子已经聚集,和尚您的法座也准备好了。’慧寂禅师说:‘各位不如去参访真正的善知识。’稍后升座,有僧人问道:‘大众云集,请禅师开示。’慧寂禅师说:‘大家站立很久了。’于是说:‘各位既然都已在此,山僧不能不说话,就和大家说一个古人的方便法门,珍重。’便下座。子方上座,从长庆寺来,慧寂禅师引用长庆棱和尚的偈语问道:‘如何是万象之中独露身?’子方举起拂尘。慧寂禅师说:‘这样理解又怎么行呢?’子方说:‘和尚您的意思是?’慧寂禅师说:‘你把什么叫做万象?’子方说:‘古人不拨弄万象。’慧寂禅师说:‘万象之中独露身,说什么拨不拨。’子方豁然开悟,作偈表示信服。从此,各地的禅宗门下,那些执着于知解的人,纷纷前来。起初他们的行为还像模像样,慧寂禅师稍微加以启发,他们都逐渐心悦诚服。前来参学的僧众,经常不少于千人。 上堂说法时,慧寂禅师说:‘大家站立很久了。’于是说:‘难道就这样散去,就没有佛法的道理了吗?试着说说看。如果没有,又来这里做什么?如果有,大街上人多的地方也有,何必到这里?各位,都曾看过《还源观》、《百门义海》、《华严论》、《涅槃经》等许多书。哪一部经教中,有这个时节(当下)?如果有,试着举出来看看。莫非是某部经里,有某句话,就是此时此刻吗?有什么关系呢?所以说,精妙的言语停留在心头,常常成为思虑的场所;真实的境界就在眼前,反而成为多重表象的境地。’又该如何才能翻转呢?如果翻转了,又该如何才能回到正位呢?明白吗?不要只是念书本,有什么用呢?’有僧人问道:‘如……’

English version: Therefore, due to discussions about staying, the planned journey was halted. Master Huiji and his entourage originally intended to visit the monasteries in the Jiangzhe area. The prefectural governor invited Master Huiji to reside at Chongshou Monastery. During the opening Dharma talk, the midday tea ceremony had not yet concluded when the Sangha leader, Baishi, said, 'The fourfold assembly has gathered, and your Dharma seat, Venerable, is ready.' Master Huiji said, 'It would be better for everyone to seek out a true Kalyanamitra (beneficial friend).' Shortly after ascending the seat, a monk asked, 'The assembly has gathered, please, Master, give us instruction.' Master Huiji said, 'Everyone has been standing for a long time.' Then he said, 'Since everyone is here, this mountain monk cannot remain silent, so I will share with everyone an expedient teaching of an ancient master, cherish it.' Then he descended from the seat. The senior monk Zifang, who came from Changqing Monastery, Master Huiji quoted a verse from Monk Leng of Changqing and asked, 'What is the uniquely revealed body within the myriad phenomena (wanxiang)?' Zifang raised his whisk. Master Huiji said, 'How can understanding it like that be correct?' Zifang said, 'What is your meaning, Venerable?' Master Huiji said, 'What do you call the myriad phenomena?' Zifang said, 'The ancients did not manipulate the myriad phenomena.' Master Huiji said, 'The uniquely revealed body within the myriad phenomena, what is there to say about manipulating or not manipulating?' Zifang suddenly awakened and composed a verse to express his sincerity. From then on, those under various Chan schools who clung to intellectual understanding flocked to him. Initially, their behavior was quite proper, but Master Huiji subtly inspired them, and they gradually became sincerely convinced. The number of monks seeking instruction often exceeded a thousand. During an ascending-the-Dharma-hall talk, Master Huiji said, 'Everyone has been standing for a long time.' Then he said, 'Could it be that we just disperse like this, and there is no Dharma principle? Try to speak of it. If there is none, then what are you doing here? If there is, then it is also present in crowded places in the marketplace, why is it necessary to come here? Everyone, you have all read the *Huanyuan Guan* (Treatise on Returning to the Source), the *Baimen Yihai* (Ocean of Meanings of the Hundred Gates), the *Huayan Lun* (Avatamsaka Sutra Commentary), the *Nirvana Sutra*, and many other texts. In which teaching is there this moment (shijie)? If there is, try to cite it. Could it be that in some sutra, there is some phrase that is this very moment? What connection does it have? Therefore, it is said that subtle words lingering in the mind often become a field of thoughts; the actual reality is right before our eyes, yet it turns into a realm of multiple appearances.' How can we reverse this? If we reverse it, how can we return to the correct position? Do you understand? Don't just recite texts, what use is that?' A monk asked, 'If...' --------------------------------------------------------------------------------
