【平常是道】
南泉、因趙州問、如何是道。
泉云、平常心是道。
州云、還可趣向否。
泉云、擬向即乖。
州云、不擬爭知是道。
泉云、道不屬知、不屬不知。
知是妄覺、不知是無記。
若眞達不擬之道、猶如太虚廓然洞豁。
豈可強是非也。
州於言下頓悟。

【無門曰】
南泉被趙州發問、直得瓦解氷消、分疎不下。
趙州縱饒悟去、更參三十年始得。

【頌曰】
春有百花秋有月
夏有涼風冬有雪
若無閑事挂心頭
更是人間好時節
春有百花秋有月
夏有涼風冬有雪
若無閑事挂心頭
更是人間好時節
Zhaozhou asked Naquan, “What is the Way?”
“Ordinary mind is the Way,” Naquan replied.
“Shall I try to seek after it?” Zhaozhou asked.
“If you try for it, you will become separated from it,” responded Naquan.
“How can I know the Way unless I try for it?” persisted Zhaozhou.
Naquan said, “The Way is not a matter of knowing or not knowing
Knowing is delusion; not knowing is confusion.
When you have really reached the true Way beyond doubt, you will find it as vast and boundless asouter space.
How can it be talked about on the level of right and wrong?”
With these words, Zhaozhou came to a sudden realization.
Wumen’s Comment
Naquan dissolved and melted away before Zhaozhou’s question, and could not offer a plausible explanation.
Even though Zhaozhou comes to a realization, he must delve into it for another thirty years before hecan fully understand it.
Wumen’s Verse
The spring flowers, the autumn moon;
Summer breezes, winter snow.
If useless things do not clutter your mind,
You have the best days of your life.
