26Two Monks Roll Up the Blind二僧卷簾
清涼大法眼。因僧齋前上參。眼以手指簾。時有二僧。同去卷簾。眼曰。一得一失。
The great teacher Fayan of Qingliang was about to give a talk before the noon meal. He pointed at the bamboo blind. Two monks went over together and rolled it up. Fayan said, "One got it, one missed."
Verse 頌曰
卷起明明徹太空
太空猶未合吾宗
爭似從空都放下
綿綿密密不通風
Rolled up, the wide sky shows clear and bright,
yet even that sky falls short of my school.
Better to let the whole sky go as well,
sealed close and seamless, no wind passing through.
Wumen's Comment 無門曰
且道是誰得誰失。若向者裏著得一隻眼。便知清涼國師敗闕處。然雖如是。切忌向得失裏商量。
So tell me, which one got it and which one missed? Fit a single eye to this and you'll see exactly where Master Qingliang slipped. Even so, whatever you do, don't go sizing it up in terms of gain and loss.
