楊岐方會和尚后錄

師（指楊岐方會）入院開堂。宣讀完疏文后，師說：『大眾，大家都散去吧，免得落入二頭三首（比喻落入俗套）。如果不散去，今天可要讓諸位感到厭煩了。』宜陽秀水，萍實楚江。於是升座，拈香說：『這一瓣香，奉為當今皇帝，祝願聖壽千秋，佛日永昌。』又拈一瓣香，奉為州縣官僚，檀那（施主）十信。『這一瓣香，諸位可知它落向何處？如果知道落向何處，就不必再多費口舌。如果不知道，我曾先後住持南源、石霜，現在住持潭州興化禪寺。諸位還認識興化嗎？如果不認識，難免牽累上祖。』於是趺坐。維那（寺院中負責維持秩序的僧人）敲槌完畢。師說：『早落第二義（方便之說），大眾散去，還算好些。既然不散去，有疑問就請提問。』僧人問：『師父唱的是誰家的曲調？宗風傳承自哪位祖師？』師說：『隔江打鼓聽不見聲音。』僧人說：『是興化的子孫，臨濟的兒孫。』師說：『今日因齋飯而慶賀讚頌。』師於是說：『還有要問話的嗎？所以說，諸供養中，法供養最為殊勝。』良久，師說：『百千諸佛，天下老和尚出世，都以直指人心，見性成佛為宗旨。如果能在此處明白，就與百千諸佛同參。如果在此處未能明白，楊岐我未免要惹上口業。況且諸位都是靈山會上，接受佛陀咐囑的人，何須自己退縮？還有記得佛陀咐囑的人嗎？你們且說，靈山末後一句，該怎麼說？如果沒有，楊岐我今天就敗闕了。』以方會我本想深藏不露，隨眾度日，豈料郡縣官僚，以及各位檀越信士，共同崇尚三寶。

No. 1994B

Yangqi Fanghui's Later Records

The Master (referring to Yangqi Fanghui) entered the monastery and began the Dharma assembly. After reciting the memorial, the Master said, 'Everyone, you should all disperse, lest you fall into the 'two heads and three necks' (a metaphor for falling into clichés). If you do not disperse, I will bore you all today.' Yiyang Xiushui, Ping is like Chu River. Thereupon, he ascended the seat, took incense, and said, 'This one incense stick, I offer it to the current Emperor, wishing him a long life and eternal prosperity for the Buddha's light.' Then he took another incense stick and offered it to the state and county officials, and the ten faiths of the benefactors (dāna). 'This one incense stick, do you all know where it falls? If you know where it falls, there is no need to waste words. If you do not know, I have successively resided at Nanyuan, Shishuang, and now reside at Xinghua Zen Monastery in Tanzhou. Do you all recognize Xinghua? If you do not recognize him, I will inevitably implicate the ancestors.' Thereupon, he sat in the lotus position. The director (the monk in charge of maintaining order in the monastery) finished striking the gavel. The Master said, 'Falling into the secondary meaning (expedient teachings) early, it would be better if everyone dispersed. Since you do not disperse, please ask if you have any doubts.' A monk asked, 'Whose tune is the Master singing? Whose ancestral style is he inheriting?' The Master said, 'Beating a drum across the river, one cannot hear the sound.' The monk said, 'He is a descendant of Xinghua, a descendant of Linji.' The Master said, 'Today we celebrate and praise because of the vegetarian meal.' The Master then said, 'Is there anyone else who wants to ask questions? Therefore, it is said that among all offerings, the Dharma offering is the most supreme.' After a long while, the Master said, 'Hundreds of thousands of Buddhas, all the old masters in the world, all take directly pointing to the human mind and seeing one's nature to become a Buddha as their purpose. If you can understand this here, you will participate with hundreds of thousands of Buddhas. If you cannot understand this here, I, Yangqi, will inevitably incur karmic retribution for my words. Moreover, you are all people who received the Buddha's entrustment at the assembly on Vulture Peak, why should you retreat yourselves? Is there anyone who remembers the Buddha's entrustment? You should say, what is the last sentence of the assembly on Vulture Peak? If there is none, I, Yangqi, will fail today.' I, Fanghui, originally wanted to hide my talents and spend my days with the crowd, but unexpectedly, the state and county officials, as well as all the benefactors and believers, commonly revered the Three Jewels.

寶。續佛壽命。令法久住。俾令山僧住持此剎。亦非小緣。所有一毫之善。上祝皇帝萬歲。家宰千秋。大眾且道。今日事作么生。良久云。來年更有新條在。惱亂春風卒未休。

上堂。僧問。如何是祖師西來意。師云。擔頭不負書。師云。心生種種法生。心滅種種法滅。拈起拄杖。卓一下云。大千世界百雜碎。捧缽盂向香積世界。吃飯去也。

上堂。僧問。如何是不動尊。師云。大眾齊著力。僧云。與么則香燈不絕去也。師云。且喜勿交涉師乃云。一切法皆是佛法。佛殿對三門。僧堂對廚庫。若也會得。擔取缽盂拄杖。一任天下橫行。若也不會。更且面壁。

上堂。僧問。如何是佛。師云。賊是人做。師乃云。萬法是心光。諸緣惟性曉。本無迷悟人。只要今日了。山河大地。有什麼過。山河大地。目前諸法。總在諸人腳跟下。自是諸人不信。可謂古釋迦不前。今彌勒不后。楊岐與么。可謂買帽相頭。

上堂。心是根。法是塵。兩種猶如鏡上痕。痕垢盡時光始現。心法雙忘性即真。遂拍禪床一下云。山河大地何處有也。且作么生道得不受人瞞底句。若也道得。向十字路頭。道將一句來。如無。楊岐今日失利。

上堂。一塵才起。大地全收。遂拈起拄杖云。須彌山上走馬。大洋海里𨁝跳。

【現代漢語翻譯】現代漢語譯本：寶。延續佛的壽命，使佛法長久住世，使得山僧我能夠住持這座寺廟，這也不是小的緣分。所有哪怕一毫的善行，都用來祝願皇帝萬歲，家宰千秋。各位，且說，今天這件事該如何看待？（停頓良久）說明年還有新的枝條生長，擾亂春風的事情終究不會停止。

上堂說法。有僧人問：『什麼是祖師西來意？』師父說：『肩上不背書。』師父說：『心生種種法生，心滅種種法滅。』拿起拄杖，頓了一下說：『大千世界粉碎成百雜碎，我捧著缽盂向香積世界吃飯去了。』

上堂說法。有僧人問：『如何是不動尊（Acalanātha，佛教中的明王，意為不動明王）？』師父說：『大眾一起用力。』僧人說：『這樣香燈就不會斷絕了。』師父說：『暫且歡喜，不要多管閒事。』師父於是說：『一切法都是佛法，佛殿對著三門，僧堂對著廚庫。如果能夠領會，就挑起缽盂拄著枴杖，任憑你在天下橫行。如果不能領會，就繼續面壁思過。』

上堂說法。有僧人問：『什麼是佛？』師父說：『賊是人做的。』師父於是說：『萬法是心的光明，各種因緣唯有自性才能明白。本來就沒有迷惑和覺悟的人，只要今日了悟。』山河大地，有什麼過錯？山河大地，眼前的一切法，都在各位的腳下。只是各位不相信。可以說是過去的釋迦（Śākyamuni，佛教創始人）沒有在前，現在的彌勒（Maitreya，未來佛）沒有在後。楊岐我這樣說，可以說是買帽子看人頭（比喻不相稱）。

上堂說法。心是根，法是塵，這兩種就像鏡子上的痕跡。痕跡污垢消失乾淨，光明才會顯現。心和法都忘記了，自性就真實了。』於是拍了一下禪床說：『山河大地在哪裡呢？』且怎麼說才能說出不被人欺騙的話？如果能說出來，就在十字路口，說一句來聽聽。如果沒有，楊岐我今天就失敗了。

上堂說法。一塵才起，大地全部收攝。』於是拿起拄杖說：『在須彌山（Mount Sumeru，佛教宇宙觀中的聖山）上跑馬，在大洋海里跳躍。

【English Translation】 English version: Precious. To prolong the Buddha's life, to ensure the Dharma's long-lasting presence, and to allow this mountain monk to preside over this monastery is no small matter. May every bit of merit, even the smallest, be dedicated to wishing the Emperor ten thousand years of life and the Chief Minister a thousand autumns. Now, everyone, tell me, how should we view today's event? (Pauses for a long time) I say, next year there will be new branches growing, and the disturbance of the spring breeze will not cease.

Ascending the hall for Dharma talk. A monk asked, 'What is the meaning of the Patriarch's coming from the West?' The Master said, 'Not carrying books on the shoulder.' The Master said, 'When the mind arises, all kinds of dharmas arise; when the mind ceases, all kinds of dharmas cease.' Picking up the staff, he struck it once and said, 'The great thousand worlds are shattered into a hundred fragments. I'm holding my bowl and going to the Fragrant Accumulation World to eat.'

Ascending the hall for Dharma talk. A monk asked, 'What is the Immovable One (Acalanātha, a Wisdom King in Buddhism)?' The Master said, 'Everyone put forth effort together.' The monk said, 'In that case, the incense lamp will not be extinguished.' The Master said, 'Rejoice for now, but don't interfere.' The Master then said, 'All dharmas are Buddha-dharma. The Buddha hall faces the three gates, the monks' hall faces the kitchen. If you can understand this, then carry your bowl and staff, and roam freely throughout the world. If you cannot understand, then continue to face the wall.'

Ascending the hall for Dharma talk. A monk asked, 'What is Buddha?' The Master said, 'A thief is made by a person.' The Master then said, 'All dharmas are the light of the mind, and only the self-nature understands all conditions. Originally, there are no deluded or enlightened people, only today's realization matters.' Mountains and rivers, what fault do they have? Mountains and rivers, all the dharmas before your eyes, are all under your feet. It's just that you don't believe it. It can be said that the ancient Śākyamuni (the founder of Buddhism) is not before, and the present Maitreya (the future Buddha) is not after. Yangqi (the Master himself) saying this is like buying a hat based on the size of the head (a metaphor for being mismatched).'

Ascending the hall for Dharma talk. 'The mind is the root, the dharma is the dust; these two are like marks on a mirror. When the marks and dirt are completely gone, the light will appear. When both mind and dharma are forgotten, the self-nature is true.' Then he slapped the Zen bed once and said, 'Where are the mountains and rivers?' How can you say a phrase that cannot be deceived? If you can say it, then at the crossroads, say a sentence for us to hear. If not, Yangqi will fail today.'

Ascending the hall for Dharma talk. 'As soon as a speck of dust arises, the entire earth is gathered up.' Then he picked up the staff and said, 'Riding a horse on Mount Sumeru (the sacred mountain in Buddhist cosmology), leaping in the great ocean.'

鬧市中忽撞著者個。是人知有。且道。黑地裡穿針一句。作么生道。良久云。尋常不欲頻開口。為是渾身著衲衣。

上堂。云心隨萬境轉。轉處實能幽。隨流認得性。無喜復無憂。復云。天堂地獄。罩卻汝頭。釋迦老子。在爾腳跟下。當明對暗。時人知有。鬧市裡把將鼻孔來。還有道得么。試出來。與楊岐出氣。如無。楊岐今日失利。

上堂。僧問。祖師面壁。意旨如何。師云。西天人不會唐言。僧云。昨日雨落。今日天晴。是人道得。請和尚出格道一句。師以兩手捺膝坐。僧云。大殺盡力道。只道得一半。師云。分身兩處看。僧指侍者云。和尚為什麼不著鞋。師云。者漆桶。僧便禮拜歸眾。

師。乃舉外道問佛。不問有言。不問無言。世尊良久。外道讚歎。世尊大慈大悲。開我迷云。令我得入。外道去後。阿難問世尊云。外道見個什麼。便道令我得入。世尊云。如世良馬。見鞭影而行。師云。道吾師兄云。世尊隻眼通三世。外道雙眸貫五天。道吾師兄。善則善矣。甚與古人出氣。楊岐道。金鍮不辨。玉石不分。大眾要會么。世尊輟已從人。外道因齋慶贊。遂以拄杖卓一下。喝一喝。

上堂。妙湛總持不動尊。首楞嚴王世希有。銷我億劫顛倒想。不歷僧祇獲法身。乃拈拄杖云。拄杖子。豈不

【現代漢語翻譯】現代漢語譯本：在喧鬧的市集中突然撞到一個人。這個人知道有這麼回事。那麼，在黑暗中穿針引線這句話，該怎麼說呢？良久之後說：『平常不願頻繁開口，因為渾身穿著衲衣。』（衲衣：僧人的衣服）

上堂說法。說：『心隨著萬境而轉動，轉動之處實在幽深。隨著流轉認識到自性，就沒有喜悅也沒有憂愁。』又說：『天堂地獄，籠罩著你的頭。釋迦老子，就在你的腳跟下。』在明暗相對的時候，世人知道有這麼回事。在喧鬧的市集中把鼻子揪過來，還有人能說得出來嗎？試著出來，替楊岐（楊岐方會，禪宗大師）出氣。如果沒有，楊岐今天就失敗了。

上堂說法。有僧人問：『祖師面壁（達摩祖師面壁九年）的意旨是什麼？』師父說：『西天（指印度）人不會說唐朝的話。』僧人說：『昨天下雨，今天天晴，這是人人都說得出的。請和尚說一句超出常格的話。』師父用兩手按著膝蓋坐著。僧人說：『非常盡力地說，也只說出了一半。』師父說：『分身兩處看。』僧人指著侍者說：『和尚為什麼不穿鞋？』師父說：『這個漆桶（比喻愚笨的人）。』僧人便禮拜后回到大眾中。

師父於是舉了外道（佛教以外的修行者）問佛的事情：『不問有言，不問無言。』世尊（釋迦牟尼佛）沉默良久。外道讚歎說：『世尊大慈大悲，開啟我的迷云，讓我得以進入。』外道走後，阿難（佛陀的弟子）問世尊說：『外道見到了什麼，便說讓我得以進入？』世尊說：『如同世上的良馬，見到鞭子的影子就行動。』師父說：『道吾師兄說，世尊一隻眼看通三世（過去、現在、未來），外道雙眼貫穿五天（指五種不同的境界）。』道吾師兄，說得好是好，但很能替古人出氣。楊岐說：『金子和鐵分不清，玉石也不分辨。』大眾想要明白嗎？世尊放棄自己的主張而順從他人，外道因此設齋慶賀讚歎。』於是用拄杖敲了一下，喝了一聲。

上堂說法。『妙湛總持不動尊（指佛陀），首楞嚴王世希有（指《首楞嚴經》）。銷我億劫顛倒想，不歷僧祇獲法身（指修行的功德）。』於是拿起拄杖說：『拄杖子，難道不……』

【English Translation】 English version: Suddenly bumping into someone in the bustling marketplace. This person knows there's something there. Now, how would you express the phrase 'threading a needle in the dark'? After a long pause, he said, 'I usually don't want to open my mouth frequently, because I'm wearing a patched robe all over.' (Patched robe: a monk's garment)

Ascending the hall to preach. He said, 'The mind follows the myriad realms and turns, the turning place is truly profound. Following the flow and recognizing the self-nature, there is neither joy nor sorrow.' He also said, 'Heaven and hell, cover your head. Old Shakyamuni, is right under your feet.' When light and darkness are opposed, people know there's something there. Bringing the nose over in the bustling marketplace, can anyone say it? Try to come out and vent for Yangqi (Yangqi Fanghui, a Chan master). If not, Yangqi will fail today.

Ascending the hall to preach. A monk asked, 'What is the meaning of the Patriarch facing the wall (Bodhidharma facing the wall for nine years)?' The master said, 'People from the Western Heaven (referring to India) don't speak the language of the Tang Dynasty.' The monk said, 'Yesterday it rained, today it's sunny, everyone can say that. Please, Master, say something out of the ordinary.' The master sat with his hands pressing on his knees. The monk said, 'Saying it with great effort, you only said half of it.' The master said, 'Look at it in two places.' The monk pointed to the attendant and said, 'Why doesn't the Master wear shoes?' The master said, 'This lacquer bucket (a metaphor for a foolish person).' The monk then bowed and returned to the assembly.

The master then cited the story of a heretic (a practitioner outside of Buddhism) asking the Buddha: 'Not asking about words of existence, not asking about words of non-existence.' The World Honored One (Shakyamuni Buddha) remained silent for a long time. The heretic praised, 'The World Honored One is greatly compassionate and greatly merciful, opening my clouds of delusion, allowing me to enter.' After the heretic left, Ananda (Buddha's disciple) asked the World Honored One, 'What did the heretic see, that he said allowed me to enter?' The World Honored One said, 'Like a good horse in the world, it acts upon seeing the shadow of the whip.' The master said, 'Brother Daowu said, the World Honored One's one eye sees through the three worlds (past, present, future), the heretic's two eyes penetrate the five heavens (referring to five different realms).' Brother Daowu, it's good, but it's very good at venting for the ancients. Yangqi said, 'Gold and iron cannot be distinguished, jade and stone are not differentiated.' Do you all want to understand? The World Honored One abandoned his own views and followed others, so the heretic set up a feast to celebrate and praise.' Then he tapped the staff once and shouted.

Ascending the hall to preach. 'The wondrous, perfect, all-encompassing, unmoving honored one (referring to the Buddha), the Shurangama King is rare in the world (referring to the Shurangama Sutra). Eliminating my inverted thoughts of countless eons, attaining the Dharma body without going through countless kalpas (referring to the merits of practice).' Then he picked up the staff and said, 'Staff, don't you...'

是法身。爾諸人還知么。楊岐今日向水裡倒泥里𩥇。蓋為諸人頭抵面袋裡。三十年後。明眼人前。不得錯舉。以拄杖卓一下。喝一喝。

上堂。云一切智通無障礙。遂拈起拄杖云。拄杖子。向諸人面前。逞大神通去也。遂擲下云。直得乾坤震裂。地搖六動。不見道。一切智智清凈。又拍禪床一下云。三十年後。明眼人前。莫道楊岐龍頭蛇尾。

上堂。云雷驚雨勢。萬物發生。拈起拄杖云。大眾且道。者個作么生。良久云。漁翁盡日空垂釣。收取絲綸歸去來。以拄杖卓禪床一下云。參。

上堂。僧問。師登寶座。四眾臨筵。的的西來。請師舉唱。師云。云開山嶽秀。水到四溟寬。進云。一句已蒙師指示。今日得聞于未聞。師云。腳跟下一句。作么生道。僧云。若不伸三拜。爭顯我師機。師云。更有什麼事。僧禮拜。師云。記取者僧話頭。問。先聖有八萬四千法門。門門見諦。學人為什麼。觸途成滯。師云。何得自家退屈。僧云。急切處。請師舉。師云。露柱𨁝跳。上三十三天。僧云。拈卻佛殿。去卻案山。腳跟下。去西天有多少。師云。楊岐被爾問倒。僧云。將謂無鼻孔。師云。三十年後。自家面赤。師乃云。風不鳴條。雨不破塊。此是俗漢時節。作么生是衲僧應時應節底句。遂拍禪床一下云。直待

【現代漢語翻譯】現代漢語譯本：這是法身（Dharmakaya，佛的法性之身）。你們這些人還知道嗎？楊岐（Yangqi，禪師名號）今天在水裡倒泥里攪，就是因為你們這些人頭抵著面袋（比喻迷惑顛倒）。三十年後，在明眼人面前，可不要錯舉（指錯誤的理解）。（用拄杖敲擊一下）喝！（大聲呵斥）

上堂說法。說一切智通達無礙。於是拿起拄杖說：『拄杖子（指拄杖），在你們面前，逞大神通去了！』於是扔下拄杖說：『直接震裂乾坤，大地搖動六次。』沒聽過嗎？一切智智清凈。』又拍了一下禪床說：『三十年後，在明眼人面前，不要說楊岐龍頭蛇尾（比喻做事有始無終）。』

上堂說法。說雷聲驚動，雨勢滂沱，萬物生長。拿起拄杖說：『各位，說說看，這個（指拄杖）是什麼？』良久說：『漁翁整天白白垂釣，收起絲線回家去。』（用拄杖敲擊禪床一下）參！（參禪）

上堂說法。僧人問：『師父登上寶座，四眾弟子聚集在這裡，請師父開示西來祖師的真意。』師父說：『云開霧散，山嶽秀麗；水流寬廣，匯入四海。』僧人進一步說：『一句開示已經蒙師父指示，今天聽到了以前未曾聽聞的。』師父說：『腳跟下的一句，怎麼說？』僧人說：『如果不伸出三拜，怎麼能顯現我師父的機鋒？』師父說：『還有什麼事？』僧人禮拜。師父說：『記住這個僧人的話頭。』問：『先聖有八萬四千法門，每個法門都能見諦（證悟真理），為什麼學人我，處處都遇到阻礙？』師父說：『怎麼能自己退縮呢？』僧人說：『緊急的時候，請師父開示。』師父說：『露柱（指寺院中的柱子）跳躍，上到三十三天（佛教中的天界）。』僧人說：『拿掉佛殿，移走案山，從腳跟下，到西天（指西方極樂世界）有多少路程？』師父說：『楊岐被你問倒了。』僧人說：『還以為您沒有鼻孔（比喻沒有弱點）。』師父說：『三十年後，你自己會面紅耳赤。』師父於是說：『風不吹動樹枝，雨不打壞土塊，這是普通人的時節。』怎麼是衲僧（指僧人）應時應節的句子？』於是拍了一下禪床說：『直到……』

【English Translation】 English version: This is the Dharmakaya (法身, the Dharma body of the Buddha). Do you all know this? Yangqi (楊岐, a Zen master's name) is today stirring in the water and messing in the mud, all because you people have your heads stuck in face-bags (a metaphor for being confused and upside down). Thirty years from now, in front of clear-eyed people, don't make a wrong move (referring to a wrong understanding). (Strikes the staff once) Ha! (A loud shout)

Ascending the hall to preach. Saying that all wisdom is unobstructed. Thereupon, he picked up his staff and said, 'Staff (拄杖子, referring to the staff), in front of you all, it's displaying great supernatural powers!' Then he threw down the staff and said, 'Directly shattering the universe, the earth shakes six times.' Haven't you heard? 'All wisdom is pure.' Then he slapped the Zen bed once and said, 'Thirty years from now, in front of clear-eyed people, don't say that Yangqi is a dragon's head and a snake's tail (a metaphor for starting strong but finishing weakly).'

Ascending the hall to preach. Saying that thunder startles and rain pours, and all things grow. Picking up the staff, he said, 'Everyone, tell me, what is this (者個, referring to the staff)?' After a long pause, he said, 'The fisherman spends all day fishing in vain, reeling in his line and going home.' (Strikes the Zen bed once with the staff) Chan! (參, Meditate!)

Ascending the hall to preach. A monk asked, 'The master ascends the precious seat, and the four assemblies gather here. Please, Master, reveal the true meaning of the Western Patriarchs.' The master said, 'Clouds part and mountains are beautiful; water flows wide and merges into the four seas.' The monk further said, 'One sentence of instruction has already been received from the Master; today, I have heard what I had never heard before.' The master said, 'What about the sentence beneath your feet? How do you say it?' The monk said, 'If I don't offer three bows, how can I reveal my master's sharpness?' The master said, 'Is there anything else?' The monk bowed. The master said, 'Remember this monk's topic.' Asked, 'The ancient sages had eighty-four thousand Dharma gates, and every gate leads to seeing the truth (見諦, realizing the truth). Why do I, a student, encounter obstacles everywhere?' The master said, 'How can you retreat yourself?' The monk said, 'In urgent times, please instruct me, Master.' The master said, 'The pillar (露柱, referring to a pillar in the temple) jumps and ascends to the Thirty-three Heavens (三十三天, heavens in Buddhism).' The monk said, 'Remove the Buddha hall, move away the desk mountain, from under my feet, how far is it to the Western Heaven (西天, referring to the Western Pure Land)?' The master said, 'Yangqi has been stumped by your question.' The monk said, 'I thought you had no nostrils (比喻沒有弱點, a metaphor for having no weaknesses).' The master said, 'Thirty years from now, you yourself will blush.' The master then said, 'The wind does not rustle the branches, the rain does not break the clods of earth; this is the time for ordinary people.' What is the sentence for a monk (衲僧, referring to a monk) that is appropriate for the time and season?' Then he slapped the Zen bed once and said, 'Until...'

彌勒下生時。

上堂。僧問。虎符金印師親握。家國興亡事若何。師云。將軍不舉令。僧云。坐籌幃幄。非師者誰。師云。金州客。僧云。幸對人天。愿觀盛作。師云。楊岐鼻孔。在阇梨手裡。僧云。學人性命。在和尚手中。師云。爾干𨁝跳作什麼。僧云。下坡不走。快便難逢。撫掌一下。便禮拜。師云。看者一員戰將。師乃云。風霜刮地。寒葉飄空。不涉春緣。拈將鼻吼來。遂拍禪床一下云。來年更有新條在。惱亂春風卒未休。

上堂。云楊岐一訣。凡聖路絕。無端維摩。特地饒舌。

上堂。供養主問。雪路漫漫。如何化導。師云。霧鎖千山秀。迤邐問行人。僧問。忽有人問楊岐意旨。未審如何舉似。師云。大野分春色。巖前凍未消。僧畫一圓相云。忽遇與么人來。又作么生。師乃捩轉面。僧擬議。師便喝云。甚麼處去也。僧作女人拜。師云。歸來與爾三十棒。師乃云。楊岐令下。已在言前。作么生是正令。喝一喝。便下座。

上堂。云落雕之箭。斬蛟之劍。主將自敗。抱馬拖旗。有人向安家立國處。道將一句來。良久云。太平本是將軍致。不許將軍見太平。喝一喝。

上堂（禪宗術語，指住持升座說法）。僧人問：『虎符金印掌握在師父手中，國家興亡大事將如何？』師父說：『將軍不發號令。』僧人說：『運籌帷幄，不是師父是誰？』師父說：『金州（地名）的客人。』僧人說：『有幸面對人天大眾，愿見師父大顯神通。』師父說：『楊岐（禪師名號）的鼻孔，在阇梨（Acarya，弟子）手裡。』僧人說：『弟子的性命，在和尚（僧人）手中。』師父說：『你幹什麼跳來跳去？』僧人說：『下坡路不走，快速方便的機會難得。』拍了一下手掌，便禮拜。師父說：『看，這是一員戰將。』師父於是說：『風霜刮地，寒葉飄落空中，不涉及春天的緣分，拿來鼻吼。』於是拍了一下禪床說：『來年更有新枝在，惱亂春風終未休。』

上堂。說楊岐的一訣，凡夫和聖人的道路斷絕。無端的維摩（Vimalakirti，佛教在家菩薩），特地饒舌。

上堂。供養主問：『雪路漫漫，如何化導？』師父說：『霧鎖千山秀，迤邐問行人。』僧人問：『如果有人問楊岐的意旨，不知如何說？』師父說：『大野分春色，巖前凍未消。』僧人畫一個圓相說：『忽然遇到這樣的人來，又怎麼辦？』師父於是轉過臉。僧人猶豫。師父便喝道：『什麼地方去了？』僧人作女人拜。師父說：『回來給你三十棒。』師父於是說：『楊岐的命令下達，已經在言語之前。』怎麼是正令？喝一聲。便下座。

上堂。說落雕的箭，斬蛟的劍，主將自己失敗，抱著馬拖著旗。有人向安家立國的地方，道出一句來。良久說：『太平本是將軍致，不許將軍見太平。』喝一聲。

上堂。俗人問：『人王（國王）與法王（佛）相見，應該談論什麼事？』師父說：『釣魚船上謝三郎。』（典故，指不相干）。俗人進言：『此事已蒙師父指示，云蓋（地名）家風事將如何？』

【English Translation】 English version When Maitreya (the future Buddha) descends to be born.

Ascending the Hall (a Chan term, referring to the abbot ascending the seat to preach). A monk asked: 'The tiger tally and golden seal are held in the teacher's hand, what about the great affairs of the rise and fall of the country?' The teacher said: 'The general does not issue orders.' The monk said: 'Planning strategies in the tent, who but the teacher?' The teacher said: 'A guest from Jinzhou (place name).' The monk said: 'Fortunate to face humans and devas, I wish to see the teacher display great power.' The teacher said: 'Yangqi's (name of a Chan master) nostrils are in the hands of the Acarya (disciple).' The monk said: 'The disciple's life is in the hands of the monk (Buddhist monk).' The teacher said: 'What are you jumping around for?' The monk said: 'If you don't take the downhill path, it's hard to find a quick and convenient opportunity.' He clapped his hands once and bowed. The teacher said: 'Look, this is a warrior.' The teacher then said: 'Wind and frost scrape the ground, cold leaves fall in the air, not involving the affinity of spring, take the nasal roar.' Then he slapped the Zen bed and said: 'Next year there will be new branches, disturbing the spring breeze will not end.'

Ascending the Hall. Saying that Yangqi's one secret, the path of ordinary people and saints is cut off. For no reason, Vimalakirti (a Buddhist lay bodhisattva), especially verbose.

Ascending the Hall. A patron asked: 'The snowy road is long, how to guide?' The teacher said: 'Mist locks thousands of mountains, ask the travelers along the way.' A monk asked: 'If someone asks about Yangqi's intention, how should I explain it?' The teacher said: 'The wilderness is divided into spring colors, the ice in front of the rock has not melted.' The monk drew a circle and said: 'If such a person suddenly comes, what should I do?' The teacher then turned his face away. The monk hesitated. The teacher then shouted: 'Where did you go?' The monk made a woman's bow. The teacher said: 'Come back and I'll give you thirty blows.' The teacher then said: 'Yangqi's order has been issued, already before words.' What is the correct order? Shout once. Then he went down from his seat.

Ascending the Hall. Saying the arrow of the falling eagle, the sword of the beheading dragon, the main general himself failed, holding the horse and dragging the flag. Someone towards the place of establishing a home and country, say a sentence. After a long time, he said: 'Peace is originally brought about by the general, but the general is not allowed to see peace.' Shout once.

Ascending the Hall. A layman asked: 'When the human king (king) and the Dharma king (Buddha) meet, what should they talk about?' The teacher said: 'Thank you, Third Brother, on the fishing boat.' (allusion, referring to irrelevant). The layman went on to say: 'This matter has already been instructed by the teacher, what about the family style of Yungai (place name)?

師云。幞頭衫帽脫當酒錢。士云。忽遇客來。如何祗待。師云。三盞兩盞猶閑事。醉后郎當笑殺人。師乃云。一切法皆是佛法。遂拍禪床一下云。山河大地百雜碎。還我佛法來。良久云。何似生遼天鶻。萬里云只一突。

上堂。云把定乾坤幾萬般。文殊普賢豈能觀。今日為君重注破。鱉鼻南山子細看。以拄杖卓一下。

上堂。云一即一切。一切即一。拈起拄杖云。吞卻山河大地了也。過去諸佛。未來諸佛。天下老和尚。總在拄杖頭上。遂以拄杖劃一劃云。不消一喝。

上堂。云云蓋傳箭令下。釋迦老子為先鋒。菩提達磨為殿後。陣勢既圓。天下太平。且道。不動步一句。作么生道。良久云。不經一事。不長一智。參。

上堂。雲天得一以清。地得一以寧。君王得一。以治天下。衲僧得一。且作么生。良久云。缽盂口向天。

上堂。云心隨萬境轉。轉處實能幽。拍禪床一下云。釋迦老子。被蟭螟蟲吞卻了也。且喜天下太平。喝

【現代漢語翻譯】現代漢語譯本：師父說：『把頭巾和衣服脫下來當酒錢。』士人問：『如果忽然有客人來，如何招待？』師父說：『喝三杯兩杯還算小事，喝醉后東倒西歪，被人笑話。』師父於是說：『一切法都是佛法。』隨即拍了一下禪床說：『山河大地粉碎，還我佛法來！』停頓了很久說：『怎比得上生在遼天的海東青（一種鷹），萬里云空只一下猛衝。』

上堂說法，拍禪床說：『各位，釣竿砍斷了重新栽竹子，不計較功程，方便了就休息。』

上堂說法，說：『無邊的剎土（佛國），自己和他人之間沒有絲毫間隔。十世古今，始終不離於當下這一念。』隨即拍了一下禪床說：『釋迦老子（釋迦牟尼佛）多少歲了？還知道嗎？如果知道，人間天上，出入自由。如果不知道，云蓋（人名）自己說，恒薩訶竭（時間單位）二千年。』

上堂說法，說：『把定乾坤幾萬般，文殊（文殊菩薩）普賢（普賢菩薩）豈能觀。今日為你們重新註釋破譯，鱉鼻南山仔細看。』用拄杖敲了一下。

上堂說法，說：『一即一切，一切即一。』拿起拄杖說：『吞掉山河大地了。過去諸佛，未來諸佛，天下老和尚，總在拄杖頭上。』於是用拄杖劃了一下說：『不消一喝。』

上堂說法，說：『云蓋（人名）傳箭令下，釋迦老子（釋迦牟尼佛）為先鋒，菩提達磨（禪宗始祖）為殿後。陣勢既然圓滿，天下太平。』那麼，不移動腳步的一句話，怎麼說？停頓了很久說：『不經歷一件事，不增長一分智慧。』參！

上堂說法，說：『天得到「一」而清明，地得到「一」而安寧，君王得到「一」，用來治理天下，衲僧（和尚）得到「一」，又該如何？』停頓了很久說：『缽盂口朝天。』

上堂說法，說：『心隨萬境轉，轉處實能幽。』拍禪床一下說：『釋迦老子（釋迦牟尼佛），被小蟲子吞掉了。』可喜的是天下太平。喝！

【English Translation】 English version: The master said, 'Take off your turban and robe to exchange for wine money.' A scholar asked, 'If a guest suddenly arrives, how should I entertain them?' The master said, 'Drinking three or two cups is still a trivial matter; being drunk and staggering around invites ridicule.' The master then said, 'All dharmas are Buddha-dharma.' Immediately, he struck the Zen meditation bed and said, 'The mountains and rivers, the great earth, are shattered into pieces! Return the Buddha-dharma to me!' After a long pause, he said, 'How can it compare to a gyrfalcon (a type of hawk) born in the sky of Liao, which pierces through ten thousand miles of clouds with a single swoop?'

Ascending the hall to preach, he struck the Zen meditation bed and said, 'Everyone, cut down the fishing rod and replant bamboo; don't worry about the effort, rest when it's convenient.'

Ascending the hall to preach, he said, 'In boundless Buddha-lands (ksetra), self and others are not separated by even a hair's breadth. The past and present of the ten ages are never apart from the present moment.' Immediately, he struck the Zen meditation bed and said, 'How old is Shakyamuni Buddha (Shakya Old Man)? Do you know? If you know, you are free to enter and exit heaven and earth. If you don't know, Yungai (a person's name) himself says, two thousand years of Hengsa-hakalpa (units of time).'

Ascending the hall to preach, he said, 'Grasping the universe in countless ways, how can Manjusri (Manjusri Bodhisattva) and Samantabhadra (Samantabhadra Bodhisattva) observe it? Today, I will re-annotate and decipher it for you; carefully observe Turtle-Nose Southern Mountain.' He struck the floor once with his staff.

Ascending the hall to preach, he said, 'One is all, and all is one.' Picking up his staff, he said, 'The mountains and rivers, the great earth, have been swallowed. The Buddhas of the past, the Buddhas of the future, all the old monks in the world are on the head of this staff.' Then, he drew a line with his staff and said, 'No need for a shout.'

Ascending the hall to preach, he said, 'Yungai (a person's name) issues the arrow command, with Shakyamuni Buddha (Shakya Old Man) as the vanguard and Bodhidharma (the founder of Zen Buddhism) as the rearguard. Now that the formation is complete, the world is at peace.' So, how do you say the phrase without moving a step? After a long pause, he said, 'Without experiencing an event, one does not gain wisdom.' Meditate!

Ascending the hall to preach, he said, 'Heaven gains clarity through oneness, earth gains peace through oneness, the king gains oneness to govern the world, so how does a monk (mendicant) gain oneness?' After a long pause, he said, 'The mouth of the alms bowl faces the sky.'

Ascending the hall to preach, he said, 'The mind follows the myriad realms and turns, and in turning, it truly becomes profound.' Striking the Zen meditation bed, he said, 'Shakyamuni Buddha (Shakya Old Man) has been swallowed by a tiny insect.' It is joyful that the world is at peace. Ha!'

一喝上堂。云時雨霖霖。悅耕人心頭頭顯煥。金不博金。參。

【English Translation】 English version:

Delivering a sermon with a shout, saying: 'Timely rain falls abundantly, delighting the hearts of farmers, everything is clearly revealed, gold cannot buy gold.' Reflect! Ascending the hall, saying: 'This Dharma abides in its Dharma position, the characteristics of the world are constant.' Śākyamuni (the founder of Buddhism), nostrils facing the sky. Lokottara Buddha (Transcendent Buddha), feet firmly on the ground. Tell me, do these two have any faults? After a long pause, saying: 'The puppy barks, the calf pulls the plow, the monks speak like this, but haven't even touched the skin.' Ascending the hall, looking around at the assembly, shouting once, and striking the staff once, saying: 'In this peaceful world, no one is allowed to interfere with the market.' Ascending the hall, saying: 'When Śākyamuni (the founder of Buddhism) was first born, he walked seven steps around, looked in all four directions, one hand pointing to the sky, one hand pointing to the earth.' Now monks all imitate this pattern, saying: 'Above the heavens and below the heavens, I alone am honored.' I say, I do not spare my life, but also make an example for everyone. After a long pause, saying: 'When the yang energy arises, there is no hard ground.' Ascending the hall, saying: 'Maitreya, the true Maitreya (the future Buddha), manifests in hundreds of thousands of bodies, constantly showing himself to people, but people do not recognize him.' The master then threw down his staff and returned to his room. Ascending the hall, quoting Pánshān (Zen master's name) saying: 'The path upwards, the thousand sages do not transmit.' The master said: 'Put it on your mouth.' And also said: 'Scholars exhaust themselves, like monkeys grasping at shadows.' The master said: 'Pánshān (Zen master's name) speaks like this, using his own views to obstruct others.' Ascending the hall, saying: 'Maitreya, the true Maitreya (the future Buddha), manifests in hundreds of thousands of bodies, constantly showing himself to people, but people do not recognize him.' The master then picked up his staff and said: 'This staff, is it not Maitreya (the future Buddha)? Do you all see it? The staff lying horizontally is Maitreya (the future Buddha) emitting light and shaking the earth; the staff standing vertically is Maitreya (the future Buddha) emitting light and illuminating the thirty-three heavens. The staff neither horizontal nor vertical, Maitreya (the future Buddha) is under your feet, helping you all to speak Prajna (wisdom). If you understand this, then go pinch your nose, and into the alms bowl, say a phrase. If not, this monk has lost.' Ascending the hall, saying: 'This monk's one word, the ordinary and the holy both raise, stop fishing and reel in the line, better to return home.'

【現代漢語翻譯】現代漢語譯本上堂。說：『今朝是三月二日。』瞿曇（Gautama，釋迦牟尼佛）尚未瞥見真諦之地。拈花微笑說了許多道理，迦葉（Kasyapa，摩訶迦葉，佛陀十大弟子之一）仍然沉醉其中。更有最後的緊要話語，切切不可錯誤地舉出來。上堂。說：『早上晴朗晚上有雨，百姓歡喜，士兵勞苦。』瞿曇老人家，沒有留下最後的言語。云蓋（Yungai，禪師自稱）今日為大眾提出來。停頓良久說：『太平本來是將軍的功勞，卻不允許將軍見到太平。』勘辯一日，璉三生（Liansansheng，人名）來到。禪師說：『寒風凜冽，紅葉飄落空中，祖師門下的高人，早上從何處離開？』璉三生說：『齋飯後從南源（Nanyuan，地名）離開。』禪師說：『腳跟下的一句，怎麼說？』璉三生用坐具拍了一下。禪師說：『只是這個嗎？還有別的嗎？』璉三生作出抽身要走的樣子。禪師說：『且坐下喝茶。』有兩個新來的僧人。禪師說：『春雨剛剛停歇，泥水尚未乾透，雲遊四方的高人，如何說法？』僧人說：『昔日離開古寺，今日得見師父尊顏。』禪師說：『從哪裡念來這些虛頭巴腦的話？』僧人說：『和尚您幸虧是個大人。』禪師說：『腳跟下的一句，怎麼說？』僧人用坐具拍了一下。禪師說：『這樣說來，楊岐（Yangqi，楊岐方會禪師）要燒香供養你去了。』僧人說：『明眼人難以欺瞞。』禪師拿起坐具說：『第二個行腳僧，你叫這個做什麼？』僧人說：『剛入叢林，還不懂。』禪師說：『實在的人難得啊，且坐下喝茶。』問僧人：『落葉飄飄，早上從何處離開？』僧人說：『齋飯後從南源離開。』禪師說：『腳跟下的一句，怎麼說？』僧人說：『愁人莫向愁人說。』禪師說：『楊岐專門為你宣揚各處去了。』僧人說：『是什麼心行？』禪師說：『不許楊岐讚歎。』僧人猶豫不決。禪師說：『且坐下喝茶。』一日，幾位新來的僧人前來拜見。禪師說：『陣勢已經擺開，都是精通作戰的將領，為何不出來與云蓋相見？』僧人打了一下坐具。禪師說：『真是精通作戰的將領。』

【English Translation】 English version The master ascended the hall and said: 'Today is the second day of the third month.' Gautama (Gautama, Shakyamuni Buddha) has not yet glimpsed the ground of truth. Holding up a flower, he spoke of many things, yet Kasyapa (Kasyapa, Mahakasyapa, one of the Buddha's ten great disciples) is still intoxicated. There is also a final word, which must not be mistakenly uttered. Ascending the hall, he said: 'Morning is clear, night brings rain, the people rejoice, the soldiers toil.' The old man Gautama has left no final words. Yungai (Yungai, the Zen master referring to himself) brings it up for everyone today. After a long pause, he said: 'Peace is originally the achievement of the general, but the general is not allowed to see peace.' Examination and Debate One day, Liansansheng (Liansansheng, a person's name) arrived. The master said: 'The cold wind is biting, red leaves are fluttering in the sky, where did the eminent disciples of the ancestral hall depart from this morning?' Liansansheng said: 'I left Nanyuan (Nanyuan, a place name) after the morning meal.' The master said: 'What is the phrase beneath your feet?' Liansansheng slapped the sitting mat once. The master said: 'Is that all? Is there anything else?' Liansansheng made a gesture as if to withdraw. The master said: 'Please sit down and have some tea.' Two new monks arrived. The master said: 'The spring rain has just stopped, the mud is not yet dry, how do the eminent wandering monks speak of the Way?' The monk said: 'In the past, I left the ancient temple, today I have the honor to see the master's face.' The master said: 'Where did you learn these empty words?' The monk said: 'Fortunately, the abbot is a great man.' The master said: 'What is the phrase beneath your feet?' The monk slapped the sitting mat once. The master said: 'In that case, Yangqi (Yangqi, Zen Master Yangqi Fanghui) will burn incense and make offerings to you.' The monk said: 'It is difficult to deceive a discerning person.' The master picked up the sitting mat and said: 'Second wandering monk, what do you call this?' The monk said: 'I just entered the monastery and don't understand.' The master said: 'It is rare to find a genuine person, please sit down and have some tea.' He asked a monk: 'Fluttering leaves, where did you depart from this morning?' The monk said: 'I left Nanyuan after the morning meal.' The master said: 'What is the phrase beneath your feet?' The monk said: 'A sorrowful person should not speak to another sorrowful person.' The master said: 'Yangqi is specially promoting you everywhere.' The monk said: 'What kind of mind is this?' The master said: 'Yangqi is not allowed to praise you.' The monk hesitated. The master said: 'Please sit down and have some tea.' One day, several new monks came to pay their respects. The master said: 'The formation is already set, all are skilled generals, why not come out and meet Yungai?' A monk struck the sitting mat once. The master said: 'Truly a skilled general.'

師僧。僧又打一坐具。師云。一坐具兩坐具。又作么生。僧擬議。師乃背面立。僧又打一坐具。師云。爾道。云蓋話頭在甚處。僧云。在者里。師云。三十年後自悟去在。云蓋在上座手裡。且坐喫茶。師又問。夏在甚處。僧云神鼎。師云。早知上座神鼎來。更不敢借問。

自術真贊

口似乞兒席袋。鼻似園頭屎杓。勞君神筆寫成。一任天下卜度。

似驢非驢。似馬非馬。咄哉楊岐。牽犁拽杷。

指驢又無尾。喚牛又無角。進前不移步。退後

【現代漢語翻譯】現代漢語譯本：師父問僧人。僧人又打了一下坐具（zuju，蒲團）。師父說：『一個坐具，兩個坐具，又怎麼樣呢？』僧人猶豫不決。師父於是背過身站立。僧人又打了一下坐具。師父說：『你說說看，云蓋（Yun Gai，人名）的話頭在哪裡？』僧人說：『在這裡。』師父說：『三十年後自己去領悟吧。云蓋在上座（shangzuo，對僧人的尊稱）手裡，暫且坐下喝茶。』師父又問：『夏天在哪裡？』僧人說：『在神鼎（Shen Ding，地名）。』師父說：『早知道上座從神鼎來，更不敢冒昧詢問了。』

師父第二天參禪時說：『昨天有幾位新來的僧人，打了云蓋三下坐具，好像有所領悟。』於是舉了前面的話頭，然後說：『云蓋失敗的地方，大家都知道。新來僧人得勝的地方，大家知道嗎？如果知道，就出來替云蓋出氣。如果不知道，在明眼人面前，不要亂說。』

上堂說法時說：『萬法本來空閑，只是人自己擾亂。』用拄杖敲了一下，說：『大眾，好好看清火燭。在明眼人面前，不要亂說。』

師父拜訪孫比部（Sun Bi Bu，官名），正趕上他處理公務。孫比部說：『下官被王事所牽累，無法擺脫。』師父說：『這是比部您的願力弘深，廣利濟度眾生。』孫比部說：『不知道怎麼說？』師父說：『應現宰官身，廣弘悲願深。為人重指處，棒下血霖霖。』孫比部因此有所領悟，於是回到小廳，坐下後問：『下官每日持齋吃素，還合乎諸聖的教誨嗎？』師父用一首偈頌贈給他：『孫比部孫比部，不將酒肉污腸肚。侍僕妻兒渾不顧。釋迦老子是誰做。孫比部孫比部。』

自述真贊

口像乞丐的席袋，鼻子像園丁的糞勺。勞煩您用神筆畫成，任憑天下人猜測。

像驢不是驢，像馬不是馬。可嘆楊岐（Yang Qi，人名），牽犁拉耙。

說是驢又沒有尾巴，說是牛又沒有角。向前不移動腳步，向後...

【English Translation】 English version: The master asked the monk. The monk then struck the zuju (zuju, a cushion) once. The master said, 'One zuju, two zujus, so what?' The monk hesitated. The master then turned his back and stood. The monk struck the zuju again. The master said, 'Tell me, where is the topic of conversation of Yun Gai (Yun Gai, a person's name)?' The monk said, 'Here.' The master said, 'Go and realize it yourself in thirty years. Yun Gai is in the hands of the venerable (shangzuo, a respectful term for monks), sit down and have some tea for now.' The master then asked, 'Where is summer?' The monk said, 'At Shen Ding (Shen Ding, a place name).' The master said, 'I knew earlier that the venerable came from Shen Ding, I wouldn't dare to ask presumptuously.'

The next day, the master said during Chan practice, 'Yesterday several new monks arrived and struck Yun Gai's zuju three times, as if they had realized something.' Then he brought up the previous topic and said, 'Everyone knows where Yun Gai failed. Do you all know where the new monks triumphed? If you know, come out and vent your anger for Yun Gai. If you don't know, don't speak carelessly in front of those with clear eyes.'

When giving a Dharma talk in the hall, he said, 'The myriad dharmas are originally idle, only people disturb themselves.' He tapped his staff once and said, 'Everyone, look carefully at the candle. Don't speak carelessly in front of those with clear eyes.'

The master visited Sun Bi Bu (Sun Bi Bu, an official title), just as he was handling official business. Sun Bi Bu said, 'This humble official is burdened by royal affairs and cannot escape.' The master said, 'This is because your vow, Bi Bu, is profound and vast, to benefit all living beings.' Sun Bi Bu said, 'I don't know how to say it?' The master said, 'Appearing as a government official, widely propagating profound vows of compassion. Pointing out the important places for people, blood rains down under the staff.' Sun Bi Bu had some realization because of this, so he returned to the small hall, sat down, and asked, 'This humble official observes a vegetarian diet every day, is it in accordance with the teachings of the saints?' The master gave him a verse as a gift: 'Sun Bi Bu, Sun Bi Bu, does not defile his intestines with wine and meat. He does not care about servants, wife, and children. Who made Shakyamuni Buddha? Sun Bi Bu, Sun Bi Bu.'

Self-Description True Praise

The mouth is like a beggar's mat bag, the nose is like a gardener's dung ladle. Thank you for painting it with a divine brush, let the world guess.

Like a donkey but not a donkey, like a horse but not a horse. Alas, Yang Qi (Yang Qi, a person's name), pulling the plow and dragging the harrow.

Saying it's a donkey, it has no tail; saying it's a cow, it has no horns. Moving forward, it doesn't take a step; moving backward...

豈收腳。無言不同佛。有語誰斟酌。巧拙常現前。勞君安寫邈。

楊岐方會和尚后錄(終)

【現代漢語翻譯】現代漢語譯本：如何停止追逐？無言時，誰能與佛陀相異？有語時，又有誰來斟酌衡量？巧妙與笨拙，總是顯現在眼前。勞煩您將這深遠的意境安穩地記錄下來。

楊岐方會和尚后錄（終）

【English Translation】 English version: How to cease the pursuit? In silence, who is different from the Buddha? In speech, who is there to deliberate and consider? Skill and clumsiness are always manifest before us. Troubling you to peacefully record this profound and distant meaning.
