禅宗开悟故事 Zen Enlightening Tales - 快说,快说 Quick Answer, Quick Answer



http://www.fo5.cn/gushi/fo/14/409.html
云门文偃是云门宗的开山祖。他是在睦州禅师处开悟的。
Yun-men (Cloud-door) Wen-yan is the founder patriarch of Yun-men sector. 
He reached enlightenment at ZM Mu-zhou's place.

睦州禅师机锋迅捷,疾如闪电,让人难以应对。
ZM Mu-zhou is sharp and quick witted like lighting, hard for others to deal with.

他平常接人,才跨门坎,便一把抓住来人,喝问:“快说,快说!”
若回答不出,便一把推出门去。
He usually received people by calling out and grabbing them just upon their crossing the threshold, asking: Quick answer, quick answer!

云门去了两次,睦州都闭门不见。
Yun-men went twice, Mu-zhou kept doors closed without meeting him.

到了第三次,睦州在门里问:“谁?”
On the third visit, Mu-zhou asked behind the door: Who?

云门急答:“文偃。”
Yun-men quickly answered: Wen-yan.

睦州刚露出一点门缝,云门便闯了进去。
Just when Mu-zhou opened the door slightly, Yun-men rushed in.

睦州一把抓住,大声喝道:“快说,快说!”
Mu-zhou grabbed him, loudly shouted: Quick answer, quick answer!

云门一愣神,便被推出门外。
Yun-men was momentarily shocked, and got pushed out of the door.

睦州急急关门,夹伤了云门的一只脚。
Mu-zhou hurriedly shut the door, one of Yun-men's leg got trapped by the door and injured.

云门疼得叫了起来。
Yun-men yelled loudly from pain.

就在他一张口的时候,忽然大悟。
Just when he opened his mouth, he suddenly realised.

云门后来接人,手段完全出于睦州。
Later, Yun-men used these same methods of Mu-zhou when he meet visitors.

往往用一句话铲断疑情,不容拟议寻思,所以禅林中有“云门天子”之称。
Usually, using one phrase can severe doubts, no space or time for thought, thus in the Zen arena there is title of "Yun-men Tian-zi (Tian-zi means the king).

Hahaha! 
GM Lu is talking about "True Enlightenment" in Seattle at this precise moment!

He asked: what is good or evil?

If you said you know what is right and wrong, then you are not enlightened at all.

Cheers all
