16The Bell and the Seven-Panel Robe鐘聲七條
雲門曰。世界恁麼廣闊。因甚向鐘聲裏披七條。
Yunmen said, "The world is so wide and open. Why, at the sound of a bell, do we put on our robes?"
Verse 頌曰
會則事同一家
不會萬別千差
不會事同一家
會則萬別千差
Get it, and all things are one house.
Miss it, and the ten thousand things scatter.
Miss it, and all things are one house.
Get it, and the ten thousand things scatter.
Wumen's Comment 無門曰
大凡參禪學道。切忌隨聲逐色。縱使聞聲悟道見色明心。也是尋常。殊不知。衲僧家騎聲蓋色。頭頭上明。著著上妙。然雖如是且道。聲來耳畔。耳往聲邊。直饒響寂雙忘。到此如何話會。若將耳聽應難會。眼處聞聲方始親。
In studying Chan, whatever else you do, don't go chasing sounds and sights. Even if you wake at a sound or see your true nature in some shape or color, that is still ordinary. What you don't see is this: a real monk rides the sounds and rides over the sights, clear at every turn, deft at every move. Still, even so, tell me: does the sound come to your ear, or does your ear go to the sound? And suppose both the ringing and the silence fall away. How do you speak of it then? Listen with your ears and you will never grasp it. Hear the sound through your eyes, and only then do you come close.
