Baiyun Duan 71-2: One More Yunmen 241: Yunmen's Mount Sumeru and Medicine and Disease

71

A monk asked, “Is not giving rise to a single thought not also a transgression?”

Yunmen said, “Mount Sumeru.”

[0301b14] 雲門因僧問。不起一念還有過也無。師曰。須彌山。

Mount Sumeru fills the universe,
Even the Thousand-eyed Bodhisattva can not see through it—
Only you who have mastered riding the ox backwards,
Will not spend your whole life following after others.

[0301b15] 須彌山塞宇宙。千眼大悲看不透。除非自解倒騎牛。一生不著隨人後。

72

Yunmen said to the assembly, “Medicine and disease treat eachother. The whole earth is medicine, which one is your self?”

[0301c02] 雲門示眾曰。藥病相治。盡大地是藥。那個是自己。

The left eye can't see the mountains and rivers,
The right eye can't see the sun and moon—
Until the time a hundred flowers bloom,
You can distinguish each and every one.

[0301c03] 左眼不見山河。右眼不見日月。直得百花開時。一一為君分別。
