最近看著《解讀中觀27道題》這書，
想起二次世界大戰後學者們想為華人思想找一條路走，
其中胡適先生對《六祖壇經》諸多考證，
初見《六祖壇經》對於「風動、幡動，仁者心動，」
禪宗很多公案都只飄盪在風中就沒了下文！我如今倒想問真的「只有我心動？」
風、幡應該有作用吧！ 至少眼睛、皮膚都一起起作用！
而「心」飄盪在風裡、幡裡、感官裡！
「禪」也應該這樣參！

The Platform Sutra 1
Good morning, friends of Nan Zen!
I recently read the Chinese translation of Nagarjuna’s Middle Way,
an annotated translation of the Mūlamadhyamakakārikā. It reminded
me of the amazing amount of effort sinologists made during the
period immediately following World War Two.
Amongst these was Hu Shi, who conducted extensive textual
research on the Platform Sutra.
When first confronted with the line “What is moving, the wind, the
flag, or your mind?” he was instantly taken aback by the idea of the
mind as the agent of movement. Ha!
Lots of gongan consist of non sequiturs, coming to an abrupt halt
without any sense of connection to what follows. Revisiting this
one, I wonder if it’s only the mind
that’s moving.
You see, it seems that the wind and the flag also play a part; or at
least your eyes and skin do!
So when the mind is fluttering like that, it’s doing so in the wind, in
the flag, and in the sense organs.
This is how to practice Zen
Master Ban Ji
