文殊菩萨（梵文：मञ्जुश्री Mañjuśrī），又称文殊师利菩萨、曼殊室利菩萨，亦称妙吉祥菩萨，佛教四大菩萨之一，释迦牟尼佛的左胁侍菩萨，代表智慧。
老翁回答道：‘龙蛇混杂，凡圣交参。’
文喜问：‘住众多少？’
Wenxi asked: How many staying in?
文喜第二天起来，茅屋不见了，而见文殊骑狮子住在空中，自悔有眼不识菩萨，空自错过。
文喜后来参访仰山禅师时开悟，因此就安心住下来担任典座（煮饭）的工作。
‘文殊自文殊，文喜自文喜，今日惑乱我不得了。’
文殊说偈云：‘苦瓜连根苦，甜瓜彻蒂甜，修行三大劫，却被这僧嫌。’
Manjusri said this verse: Bitter melon even roots are bitter, Sweet melon - sweet to the base, the 3 big kalpas of cultivation, but being repulsed by this monk.
吾人因不明白自己本性，终日心外求法，故患得患失，若能自悟自性，‘文殊自文殊，文喜自文喜’，两者有差异，实则无差异，何必自悔自恼呢？
Most do not know Self nature, always seek externally for dharma, thus delusion of possessed and loss, if realised self nature, then "Manjusri is Manjusri, Wenxi is Wenxi," has no difference actually, thus why Self remorse or self confuse?

因德才超群，居菩萨之首，故称法王子。
文殊菩萨的名字意译为 “妙吉祥”；Mañju，文殊或曼殊，意为美妙、雅致，śrī，师利或室利，意为吉祥、美观、庄严。
文喜禅师，朝拜五台山，到达前，晚宿一茅屋，内住一老翁，文喜就问老翁道：‘此间道场内容如何？’

Zen Master WenXi went to pay homage at Wu Tai Shan. Before arrival he stayed the night at a straw hut, which was occupied by an elderly man.
Wenxi asked the elder: This temple's has what details?
老翁回答道：‘龙蛇混杂，凡圣交参。’
Elder answered: Mixture of dragons & snakes, commoners and saints jointly.
文喜问：‘住众多少？’
Wenxi asked: How many staying in?
老翁答：‘前三三、后三三。’
Elder answered: Front three three, back three three.
文喜第二天起来，茅屋不见了，而见文殊骑狮子住在空中，自悔有眼不识菩萨，空自错过。
When Wenxi woke up the next morning, the straw hut has disappeared, only can see Manjusri riding on lion and abiding in the sky, remorseful about not recognising a Boddhisattva, and missed out.
文喜后来参访仰山禅师时开悟，因此就安心住下来担任典座（煮饭）的工作。
Later, Wenxi visited Zen master Yang Shan and become enlightened, thus stay on to take on the task of cook.
一天他从饭锅蒸气上又见文殊现身，便举饭铲打着，并说道：
One day, he saw Manjusri appears from the steam that arose from the rice pot, he raised the rice ladle and hitting it, said:

‘文殊自文殊，文喜自文喜，今日惑乱我不得了。’
Manjusri is Manjusri, Wenxi is Wenxi, today can't mix me up (Means confuse me).
文殊说偈云：‘苦瓜连根苦，甜瓜彻蒂甜，修行三大劫，却被这僧嫌。’
Manjusri said this verse: Bitter melon even roots are bitter, Sweet melon - sweet to the base, the 3 big kalpas of cultivation, but being repulsed by this monk.

文殊的偈语中，不是怕人嫌他，而是在说明三大阿僧祇劫的修行，今天才真正达到知音，有人认识他了。
In Manjusri's verse, he does not fear that people repulse him, but is explaining that through the 3 big asamkya kalpa of cultivation, today can really reach a kindred spirit, someone who recognise him!
原来，文殊文喜，是自他不二啊！
Actually, Manjusri is Wenxi, is him and no duality!
