84Juzhi's One Finger俱胝一指
Introduction 示眾
一聞千悟，一解千從。上士一決一切了，中下多聞多不信。剋的簡當處，試拈出看。
Hear one thing, wake to a thousand. Grasp one, and a thousand follow. The best student settles the whole matter in a single stroke. The middling and the slow hear plenty and believe almost none of it. Let me pin down the sharp point and hold it up. Take a look.
俱胝和尚凡有所問，只竪一指。
Ask Master Juzhi anything and you got the same answer: he held up one finger.
Verse 頌
俱胝老子指頭禪，
三十年來用不殘。
信有道人方外術，
了無俗物眼前看。
所得甚簡，
施設彌寬。
大千剎海飲毛端，
鱗龍無限落誰手，
珍重任公把釣竿。
師復竪起一指，云：「看。」
Old Juzhi and his fingertip Zen,
thirty years and it never wore out.
Trust that the man of the Way had a power past the world:
nothing ordinary left before his eyes.
What he held was so plain.
What it opened, so wide.
The whole ocean of worlds, drunk down at the tip of a hair.
Numberless dragons. Into whose hands do they fall?
Take care: it is Duke Ren, gripping the rod.
Then the master raised one finger again and said, Look.
