J36nB345_p0079a02我觀世間生假二相本無差別，未J36nB345_p0079a03始以前真空寂然，後乎此而有所J36nB345_p0079a04謂文字者，其猶幻相之云也。惟幻J36nB345_p0079a05相不礙真空，故阿難蒙佛授記，修J36nB345_p0079a06多羅藏復有結集，達磨東來，震旦J36nB345_p0079a07以慧可本來一偈隨付大法，大雄J36nB345_p0079a08之教在在圓通，固未嘗以文字為J36nB345_p0079a09障礙也。後之學子何者為粘？何者J36nB345_p0079a10為脫？若膠於名相，雖無字句，不能J36nB345_p0079a11謂之真空；若義趣消融，智光迸爍，J36nB345_p0079a12一一以印心密旨見諸字句，一字J36nB345_p0079a13一句是皆平等大慧，一切真實，其J36nB345_p0079a14孰謂之假設乎？千百年已來，臨濟J36nB345_p0079a15之道大行於世，十五傳而有斷橋、J36nB345_p0079a16雪巖二派，兩支並秀，如日月麗天，J36nB345_p0079a17其教大熾。斷橋十四傳而至金明，J36nB345_p0079a18今藕菴禪師則金明之付法嫡子J36nB345_p0079b01也。藕菴遠承道法，介然自守，復能J36nB345_p0079b02平心待物，使人之就之者心境雙J36nB345_p0079b03忘，歡喜亡厭。余媿疏慵，不能數過，J36nB345_p0079b04顧以余之正信也，持語錄屬序之。J36nB345_p0079b05於焉諦觀反覆，知其截斷眾流，直J36nB345_p0079b06超頓上，故能隨機示現，種種具足，J36nB345_p0079b07如山川出雲，盎盎然盡天下之阡J36nB345_p0079b08陌溝塍鉤聯屈曲，不須加被而自J36nB345_p0079b09然充滿。余得而淺量之乎？斷橋一J36nB345_p0079b10派瀠然以孤，若得於上首門中力J36nB345_p0079b11為擔荷，使曹溪滴水復如長江大J36nB345_p0079b12河流行天壤，藕菴之揚眉瞬目，一J36nB345_p0079b13唱一新，不可已也。嘻！當機猛喝，使J36nB345_p0079b14人人心光破裂頓空，一切人亦於J36nB345_p0079b15無字句處一霎參提，勿以雪泥鴻J36nB345_p0079b16爪強作擬議，使藕菴以為盲眼漢J36nB345_p0079b17也可乎？

竹菴衍禪師語錄序
J36nB345_p0079c14佛氏之書，有與吾儒名同而實異J36nB345_p0079c15者，則語錄是也。始於有宋之時，濂、J36nB345_p0079c16洛、關、閩諸君子講明道學之說，於J36nB345_p0079c17是先生之所以教，弟子之所以學，J36nB345_p0079c18及門諸子好學深思，雖單辭隻句，J36nB345_p0080a01皆不敢廢而謹錄之，此語錄所由J36nB345_p0080a02名也。然諸先生微言高論，互見群J36nB345_p0080a03書，生平見於語錄者，十不一二。至J36nB345_p0080a04於佛氏之教，其傳授心法，本不立J36nB345_p0080a05文字之跡，故德山一棒，臨濟一喝，J36nB345_p0080a06機鋒應對，相視莫逆。即語錄一書，J36nB345_p0080a07有若川既濟而舍筏，心既伏而舍J36nB345_p0080a08喻，可無佛者。然學佛之徒，舍此別J36nB345_p0080a09無以自見，故一經嗣法，人各為編。J36nB345_p0080a10其敝也，至於強記公案，改竄法言，J36nB345_p0080a11而本來悟地，了無所得。此識者所J36nB345_p0080a12為痾，而語錄所以愈多而愈下也。J36nB345_p0080a13曾子蘭坡一日以竹菴禪師語錄J36nB345_p0080a14屬余為序。按家庭表云：「竹菴系出J36nB345_p0080a15臨濟三十二世孫，臨濟十五傳而J36nB345_p0080a16有斷橋、雪巖二派。雪巖有密雲諸J36nB345_p0080a17嗣，其教方興，而斷橋之後，受國榮J36nB345_p0080a18者屢見。又十五傳而始得金明，其J36nB345_p0080b01派得以不墮。竹菴則嗣法金明者J36nB345_p0080b02也。」天下事艷於群趣者易為功，而J36nB345_p0080b03勞於獨任者難為力。堯、舜、文、武、周J36nB345_p0080b04公之道，至孟軻死而不得其傳。昌J36nB345_p0080b05黎立千百世之後，為繼其絕，而有J36nB345_p0080b06宋諸君子遂起。而有明之論學道J36nB345_p0080b07者，不得不以昌黎為孔、孟之嫡子。J36nB345_p0080b08竹公當斷橋法派接續之際，而毅J36nB345_p0080b09然以身任之，雖為之前者尚有金J36nB345_p0080b10明，而竹公亦可為特立而獨行者J36nB345_p0080b11矣。《般若金剛經》云：「我今得聞如是J36nB345_p0080b12經典，信解受持，不足為難。若當來J36nB345_p0080b13世後五百歲，其有眾生得聞是經，J36nB345_p0080b14信解受持，是人即為第一希有。」又J36nB345_p0080b15曰：「如是人等，即為荷擔如來阿耨J36nB345_p0080b16多羅三藐三菩提。」謝唐樂之，千載J36nB345_p0080b17不墜，由於人弘。苟非壯志定力，能J36nB345_p0080b18任重而道遠者，疇則勝之？今竹公J36nB345_p0080c01語錄具在，其啟聵發蒙之妙，余不J36nB345_p0080c02得而深知。在竹公則亦若筏喻，既J36nB345_p0080c03舍其去留，可無問者。而我金明竹J36nB345_p0080c04公中興斷橋之派於十五傳之後，J36nB345_p0080c05為天下之有志絕學者勉之。

竹菴和尚傳
J36nB345_p0081b12師名真衍，別號藕菴，臨濟三十二世孫也，姑蘇高陽J36nB345_p0081b13氏子。明泰昌辛酉正月十有三日，母陳氏感異夢生。J36nB345_p0081b14陳素好佛，人即以為有夙契焉。師兒時即敏慧，每喜J36nB345_p0081b15獨坐。稍長，不入凡兒隊，好持佛母準提神咒無虛日。J36nB345_p0081b16或遇行客僧至，必為設饌敬禮之。年十五，遂有志出J36nB345_p0081b17家，父母不許，為憂憤幾欲絕粒者久之。明年，父母為J36nB345_p0081b18議娶某氏女，以父母命強就婚，旋遭母喪。又明年，喪J36nB345_p0081b19父，喪葬持服訖，因告其宗老曰：「兒向喜事佛，欲皈其J36nB345_p0081b20教久矣。父母在此，身未敢以自許也，今已矣。因以所J36nB345_p0081b21有盡散之宗人，復厚貽其室而遣之。」時年十有九矣。J36nB345_p0081b22乃如例製頭陀服，為苦行人，代諸僧募飯，祁寒暑雨J36nB345_p0081b23弗卹也。期既滿，乃往萬峰受具足戒。偶閱《圓覺經》，菩J36nB345_p0081b24薩發問：「今者四大各離妄身，當在何處？」遂撫几長嘆J36nB345_p0081b25曰：「人生不明箇事，徒為僧相，於本分中無所益耳。」於J36nB345_p0081b26是遍參尊宿。一日，聞板聲，忽然有會，諸方皆為印可，J36nB345_p0081b27名籍籍叢林矣。後過金明介禪師，介蓋斷橋倫祖第J36nB345_p0081b28十四世孫，能弘祖法者，與師機緣相合，有水乳之契，J36nB345_p0081b29因以法付之。隨侍逾年，因患痰疾，辭介歸隱於太倉J36nB345_p0081b30藕花菴。每日鐘鳴危坐，默持《妙法蓮花經》一卷，香再J36nB345_p0081c01炷而持畢，蓋數十年如一日也。師為人言笑不苟，氣J36nB345_p0081c02骨高勝，一時緇素恭敬尊仰。其少年紈褲間有排斥J36nB345_p0081c03之者，而師夸然不屑也。手書《法華》付剞劂竟，復書《華J36nB345_p0081c04嚴》全部，越九月即成。其脩持精進，不敢自假借，類如J36nB345_p0081c05此。自脫白至此，凡歷僧臘將四十年。即吾州而論，初J36nB345_p0081c06寓雙樹，繼主福城，今住藕花。其經營殿宇，裝塑法像，J36nB345_p0081c07在在不遺餘力，將歸老是菴矣，故自號藕菴云。
J36nB345_p0081c08曾同吉曰：「余從父兄五典師、從父子旂，同舉於鄉，有J36nB345_p0081c09譜誼，余之知師者舊矣。今藕花菴居吾邑之城南，去J36nB345_p0081c10余廬僅數武，每過從，歡相得也。余亦厭塵俗，喜學佛，J36nB345_p0081c11幾欲自決矣。入而見妻孥兒女子，輒怦怦若不自得J36nB345_p0081c12者。」語云：「金佛不度爐，木佛不度火。師其何以度我哉？」
J36nB345_p0081c13康熙十四年乙卯長夏，皈依弟子曾同吉稽首草。

J36nB345_p0082a11示眾。舉：「雲門大師道：『終日喫飯，不曾咬著一粒米。』鎮J36nB345_p0082a12州大王問趙州：『和尚年尊，有幾箇牙齒？』州云：『只有一J36nB345_p0082a13箇。』大王云：『爭喫得物？』州云：『雖然一箇，下下咬著。』」師云：J36nB345_p0082a14「趙州下下咬著，雲門不曾咬著。且道不曾咬著底是？J36nB345_p0082a15下下咬著底是？向者裏具隻眼始得。」驀拈拄杖，云：「難J36nB345_p0082a16逃獅子口。」眾擬對，一齊趁散。
J36nB345_p0082a17示眾。舉：「中際可遵禪師上堂云：『昨夜四更起來，呵呵J36nB345_p0082a18大笑不歇，幸然好一覺睡，霜鐘撞作兩橛。』」師云：「可遵J36nB345_p0082a19禪師將謂奇特，舉示大眾，未免寱語不少。藕菴則不J36nB345_p0082a20然，熟睡一覺，直到天明，抽身穿腳，紅日高升。敢問諸J36nB345_p0082a21人：還有優劣麼？」驀高聲召云：「大眾！惺惺著。」
J36nB345_p0082a22彌陀佛誕，示眾。師以目旋視大眾，揮拂打○，云：「會麼？」J36nB345_p0082a23以拂擊香臺，云：「聞麼？祇如有眼皆見、有耳皆聞，還知J36nB345_p0082a24西方教主彌陀慈父頭頭現寶王剎、處處轉大法輪，J36nB345_p0082a25導利四生、垂提七趣麼？諸仁者！於此見得，西方此土J36nB345_p0082a26纖毫不隔；如獲未委，山僧不惜眉毛，更為饒舌一上。J36nB345_p0082a27今日是彌陀慈父示現降生之日，萬象森羅、呈祥呈J36nB345_p0082a28瑞，直得燈籠起舞、露柱頻申，乃至百千萬億無量大J36nB345_p0082a29香水海、百千萬億無量香花幢旛雲、百千萬億無量J36nB345_p0082a30栴檀樓閣雲，乃至盡未來際，一一具如是口、如是舌、J36nB345_p0082b01如是言詞，四時歌詠同時演唱，亦不能慶讚慈父毛J36nB345_p0082b02道之一也。只如山僧又作麼生慶讚？昨夜六花彌宇J36nB345_p0082b03宙，今朝紅日照乾坤。」復揮拂一下，便起。
J36nB345_p0082b04示眾。舉：「慈明禪師示徒偈：『黑黑黑，道道道，明明明，得J36nB345_p0082b05得得。』」師云：「慈明老漢與麼示徒，大似擔鹽雨裏賣。藕J36nB345_p0082b06菴不免畫蛇添足。黑黑黑，摩醯正眼光如日；道道道，J36nB345_p0082b07打破牢關齊失照；明明明，鞭起泥牛火裏耕；得得得，J36nB345_p0082b08波斯摸著娘生鼻。與麼告報，還有旁不甘者麼？試出J36nB345_p0082b09來道看。」一僧纔出，師云：「了。」
J36nB345_p0082b10示眾。「昨日熱，今日寒，抖擻精神努力看，碧漢金烏走，J36nB345_p0082b11千山轉玉盤。」以拂子擊禪床，云：「山僧並不相瞞。」便下J36nB345_p0082b12座。
J36nB345_p0082b13至節，示眾。舉：「僧問古德云：『一陽來復，日長一線，未審J36nB345_p0082b14佛法長多少？』荅云：『長一線。』後有古德云：『一線長。』有問J36nB345_p0082b15高峰妙禪師：『佛法長多少？』妙云：『東西十萬，南北八千。』」J36nB345_p0082b16師云：「三大老恁麼語話，未稱平懷。今日有問藕菴：『佛J36nB345_p0082b17法長多少？』向道：『恰好。』且道與古人是同是別？具眼者J36nB345_p0082b18試分析看。」
J36nB345_p0082b19臘八，陞座。師云：「昨夜山僧拄杖子驀地高聲報道：『黃J36nB345_p0082b20面老子深居雪嶺，夜半抬頭，忽見明星，大驚小怪，便J36nB345_p0082b21道：「奇哉！一切眾生具有如來智慧德相，但以妄想執J36nB345_p0082b22著，不能證得。」』聲未絕時，山僧道：『一翳在眼，空花亂墜。』J36nB345_p0082b23便將拄杖子一摑，𨁝跳上三十三天，直得地震六搖，J36nB345_p0082b24鳥飛兔走，驚起森羅萬象、露柱燈籠，一一端拱呈解。J36nB345_p0082b25山僧只得呵呵大笑，向他道：『汝等也須各領三十痛J36nB345_p0082b26棒始得。』」復以拄杖敲空一下，云：「一擊迸開三要眼，虛J36nB345_p0082b27空騎象點頭歸。」拽拄杖，下座。
J36nB345_p0082b28啟七，示眾。師云：「大凡窮生死根源，第一要明得本有J36nB345_p0082b29田地。至如臨機縱奪，隨時照用，且緩緩商量。若要明J36nB345_p0082b30者片田地，直須逼出通身白汗始得。敢問大眾：者片J36nB345_p0082c01田地人人本具，為甚踏不著？道道看。山僧不敢囊藏，J36nB345_p0082c02為伊點出去也。」驀擲下拄杖，便歸方丈。
