English version: So-and-so becomes easy today). A monk asked, 'What is the second moon?' The Master said, 'The myriad phenomena of the universe.' The monk asked, 'What is the first moon?' The Master said, 'The myriad phenomena of the universe.' (森罗万象 (Sēn luó wàn xiàng): refers to all kinds of phenomena in the universe.) The Master ascended the platform and said, 'The entire ten directions world is bright and clear, without a single thread of attachment. If there is a single thread of attachment, then it is a single thread of attachment.' (法灯 (Fǎ dēng) said, 'If there is a single thread of attachment, then it is not a single thread of attachment.') The Master pointed to a stool and said, 'If you recognize the stool, you are complete and have more than enough.' (云门 (Yún mén) said, 'If you recognize the stool, heaven and earth are vastly different.' 雪窦 (Xuě dòu) said, 'Grace is vast and can hide mountains; reason can subdue leopards.' 圆悟 (Yuán wù) said, '雪窦 (Xuě dòu) said it this way, I don't know if he is clarifying others' words or pointing out others' words, is it praise or贬低 (biǎn dī)?' 径山杲 (Jìng shān gǎo) said, 'If you recognize the stool, you can have a good shave and wash your feet.' Even so, many people misunderstand.) The Master was suffering from a foot ailment, and a monk came to inquire. The Master said, 'When non-humans come, I cannot move; when humans come, I cannot move.' Tell me, what judgment should be made in the Dharma? The monk said, 'Venerable Master, you are fortunate to be getting better.' The Master did not agree and said separately, 'Venerable Master, I seem to be in less pain today.' A monk asked, 'What are the events since the dust kalpas (extremely long time)?' The Master said, 'They are all in the present moment.' Master 生法 (Shēng fǎ) said, 'Striking the air makes a sound, striking wood makes no sound.' The Master suddenly heard the sound of the wooden fish during the meal and said to the attendant, 'Do you hear it? If you heard it just now, you don't hear it now. If you hear it now, you didn't hear it just now. Do you understand?' Because they were digging a well, the spring was blocked by sand. The Master said, 'The spring is not flowing because it is blocked by sand. What is blocking the Dharma eye (wisdom to understand the truth)?' The monk had no answer. The Master answered himself, 'It is blocked by the eye (eyes, also referring to attachment to appearances).' The Master saw a monk carrying soil and took a piece of soil, placing it on the monk's load, saying, 'I will help you.' The monk said, 'Thank you, Venerable Master, for your compassion.' The Master did not agree. Another monk asked separately, 'What is the Venerable Master's intention?' The Master stopped speaking. The Master ascended the platform and said, 'Everyone, it is cold, why do you still come up?' Tell me, is it good to come up, or is it good not to come up? Or some monk says, not to come up --------------------------------------------------------------------------------

English version That's good. Where is it not? What more is needed to add to it? Then another senior monk said, 'Even he cannot fully understand it; he must go to the abbot to understand.' Fellow monks, what do you say, do these two have any progress in the Buddha-dharma? The senior monk truly does not understand; there is no progress whatsoever. The ancients called it a 'holeless iron hammer,' no different from being born blind and deaf. If another senior monk were to come out and say, 'Neither of them is right,' why is that? Because they are attached, that's why they are not right. Fellow monks, always traveling around like this, always discussing like this, what are you ultimately seeking? Is it merely to show off your eloquence, or is there something else you are seeking? Fearing that they are attached, then what are they attached to? Are they attached to principle (理, lǐ), attached to phenomena (事, shì), attached to form (色, sè), or attached to emptiness (空, kōng)? If it is principle, how should one be attached to principle? If it is phenomena, how should one be attached to phenomena? It is the same with being attached to form and attached to emptiness. That is why I often say to you all, the Buddhas of the ten directions (十方諸佛, shí fāng zhū fó, Buddhas in all directions), the virtuous teachers of the ten directions (十方善知識, shí fāng shàn zhī shí, virtuous teachers in all directions), are constantly extending their hands (垂手, chuí shǒu, offering help). Fellow monks, constantly receive their hands (接手, jiē shǒu, accepting help). When the Buddhas of the ten directions extend their hands, where is the place where you fellow monks constantly receive their hands? If there is a place to understand, understand it well. If you have not yet understood, do not say that everything is always completely fulfilled. Fellow monks, traveling around, you must also carefully consider some brilliant points; do not just rely on a little wisdom and waste your time. The master asked his young son, 'Because you, son, know your father, what is your father's name?' The son did not answer. (Fadeng (法燈, Fǎdēng, a Chan master) answered on his behalf, 'He just covers his face with his sleeve.') The master then asked the monks, 'If he were a filial son, he should give a turning word (轉語, zhuǎn yǔ, a witty or insightful response). Then, what word should he give?' The monks did not answer. The master answered on his behalf, 'He is a filial son.' The master asked a monk lecturing on the *Hundred Dharmas Treatise* (百法論, Bǎi Fǎ Lùn, a Buddhist treatise analyzing the nature of all dharmas), 'The hundred dharmas are a dual presentation of substance and function (體用雙陳, tǐ yòng shuāng chén, presenting both substance and function), the *Mingmen* (明門, Míng Mén, short for *Bǎifǎ Míngmén Lùn*, Treatise on the Hundred Dharmas) is a combined raising of the able and the object (能所兼舉, néng suǒ jiān jǔ, simultaneously raising the able and the object). The lecturer (座主, zuò zhǔ, the monk giving the lecture) is the able, the Dharma seat (法座, fǎ zuò, the seat for lecturing) is the object, how do you explain the combined raising?' (An old monk answered on his behalf, 'I call it a Dharma seat.') Guizong Rou (歸宗柔, Guīzōng Róu, a Chan master) said, 'There is no need for the master to say it like that.' Xuedou (雪竇, Xuědòu, a Chan master) said something else about the old monk's words. -------------------------------------------------------------------------------- 云。和尚分半院与某甲始得)。
