99Yunmen's Bowl and Bucket雲門鉢桶
Introduction 示眾
棊有別智，酒有別腸。狡兔三穴，猾胥萬倖。更有箇誵頭底，且道是誰？
Chess takes its own kind of cunning. Drink takes its own kind of gut. The clever hare keeps three burrows; the sly clerk has a thousand ways to slip free. And there's one slipperier than any of them. Tell me, who?
僧問雲門：「如何是塵塵三昧？」門云：「鉢裏飯，桶裏水。」
A monk asked Yunmen, "What is the samadhi in which every speck of dust holds the whole world?"
Yunmen said, "Rice in the bowl, water in the bucket."
Verse 頌
鉢裏飯，桶裏水，開口見膽，求知已。擬思便落二三機，對面忽成千萬里。韶陽師較些子，斷金之義兮誰與相同，匪石之心兮獨能如此。
Rice in the bowl, water in the bucket.
Open your mouth and the whole of you shows.
Reach to know it, you've already missed;
start to think, you've split into two and three.
Meet it face to face
and at once it's a thousand miles off.
The master of Shaoyang had it near enough.
A bond that cuts through gold:
who else shares it?
A heart no force could turn:
he alone can be so.
