In this case , it is a cat. Now, what does the cat mean? It is the symbol of
the origin from which all relative thought arises .
To kill the cat means to cut off the origin of all delusive thoughts. This
is precisely what Nansen did.
Jōshū, of course, was deeply enlightened and had swept away not only all
delusive thoughts but also all remembrance of enlightenment.
In Jōshū’s heart there was nothing, not even thoughts such as these. He
did not say a word. By his action alone he showed his state of consciousness
and gave the master his answer to the koan.
In that action there was no discriminative thinking, not even the thought
that sandals belong on the feet and not the head. But I do not want you to
think that wearing sandals on your head is characteristic of Zen!
If your thinking is like that, then you are on the fox level. As I said
before, our aim in Zen is not to become strange or peculiar but to become a
true person.
Nansen’s sword kills everything, and Jōshū gives everything life. They
represent the two sides of Zen activity. One side, represented by Nansen,
extinguishes or cuts off delusions which arise fundamentally from opposing
subject and object. The significance of this is to cut off all evil.
There is a Zen saying, “There is not even a grain of dust in the essential
world.” The other side of Zen activity is to give life to everything.
Jōshū presents this side uniquely by his extraordinary action. Its
significance is to practice all good. There is a Zen saying, “Nothing
remains outside the Buddha’s Dharma.” In order to promote man’s spiritual
advancement, both are indispensable.

圣严法师说的是颠倒
转自显密文库
佛教最重要的五戒的第一戒就是不杀生，南泉怎么可以杀猫呢？不过他不是粗人，也不
会是破戒的出家人，而是他看到寺院中养起猫来，这已经错了。戒律规定寺院不能养猫
，因为猫会抓老鼠，有伤慈悲，而东西两堂的僧人还要争猫，所以南泉就把猫杀了。他
的目的是要使两堂的僧人去掉争执的心，也去掉以后养猫的心。如果处罚他们也没什么
用，不能产生力量，一旦杀猫，可以产生极大的震撼，因为从释迦牟尼佛以来没有人破
过这种戒。养猫已够不慈悲，杀猫更不慈悲。这是禅宗祖师以毒攻毒，以毒治毒，以非
常毒的药来治非常毒的病。杀猫之后，这个震撼力不是一下子就结束了，直到现在还在
震撼着我们。猫本身牺牲了，但南泉的举动却帮了很多人的忙。
赵州是已经开悟的人，他知道两堂养猫、争猫是颠倒，老和尚杀猫也是颠倒，他还
有什么话讲？上下都颠倒！所以，脱下鞋子顶在头上往外走，是表示这场佛事整个都是
颠倒的。他用颠倒的手法也是以毒攻毒，以毒治毒。如果以正扶反，力道不强；如果颠
倒加颠倒，可以马上产生大爆炸、大火花。禅宗史上曾有很多人解这个公案，我的说法
则是这三方的动作都错了，但南泉和赵州的目的是对的，这叫「将错就错」、「倒正其
错」。不过，这种例子不能随便学习，否则养狗杀狗、养猫杀猫，会很麻烦的。
==============================================
我觉得如果从颠倒来说
敦煌版坛经这一句可以当解
大师言：神会向前，见不见是两边，痛不痛是生灭
不管是猫生死， 还是人生死
争猫是见地， 生死也是生灭，用生灭去见证见地
不是颠倒是什么？
所以无门说了要杀南泉的例子
还没从无分别的方面去想 | t******g
发帖数: 17520 | 4 问题是养猫， 杀猫这两边， 即是见地却也扯到生灭
所以导致混乱
所以
认为颠倒的是贬
认为无分别的是褒
赵州是告诉我们，
养宠物的里外不是人， 哈哈哈 |
