Introduction 垂示

以無師智,發無作妙用;以無緣慈,作不請勝友。向一句下,有殺有活;於一機中,有縱有擒。且道:什麼人曾恁麼來?試舉看。

With a wisdom no one taught him, he sets loose a flawless working that does nothing. With a kindness owed to no one, he turns up as the best friend you never called for. In a single phrase he can kill, he can revive. In a single move he can let go, he can pin down. So tell me: who has ever come this way? Here's a case. Look.

雲門示眾云:「乾坤之內,宇宙之間,中有一寶,祕在形山。拈燈籠向佛殿裏,將三門來燈籠上。」

Yunmen spoke to the assembly: "Inside heaven and earth, in the midst of all space, there is one treasure, hidden in the mountain of the body. Take a lantern, carry it into the Buddha hall, and bring the temple gate. Set it on the lantern."

Verse 頌

看看, 古岸何人把釣竿? 雲冉冉, 水漫漫, 明月蘆花君自看。
Look. Look. On the old bank, who holds the fishing rod? Clouds drift on, water runs wide. Bright moon, reed flowers: see for yourself.
