松源和尚云。大力量人因甚擡脚不起。又云。開口不在舌頭上
Master Shōgen【松源】said, “Why is it that a man of great strength does
not lift up his leg?” He also said, “It is not with the tongue that we
speak.”
-----
So what does Shōgen mean when he says that a man of great strength does not
or cannot lift up his leg? It seems strange, even irrational, to our

river ［悬河之辩］, it is all of no use, or even if you can explain
perfectly the whole body of the sutras, it is of no avail? It is because an
exposition, however
eloquent, is merely the transmission or communication of concepts. It is not
a fact, not the essential reality! Suppose you are drinking a cup of tea.
Tasting it is giving you enjoyment. In this instance, the taste is the fact.
Can you make me enjoy that taste by any amount ... 阅读全帖 |

世尊昔在靈山會上。拈花示眾。是時眾皆默然。惟迦葉尊者破顏微笑。世尊云。
吾有正法眼藏涅槃妙心實相無相微妙法門。不立文字教外別傳。付囑摩訶迦葉
無門曰。黃面瞿曇傍若無人。壓良為賤。懸羊頭賣狗肉。將謂。多少奇特。只如當
時大眾都笑。正法眼藏作麼生傳。設使迦葉不笑。正法眼藏又作麼生傳。若道正法眼藏
有傳授。黃面老子誑謼閭閻。若道無傳授。為甚麼獨許迦葉
頌曰
