2.251

天眼龍睛,徹底覻破。此頌引《博物志》云「天河與海通。海濱年年八月有靈槎木來往,不失期信。有博望侯張騫,邃積糧乘槎而去,怱怱不覺晝夜。忽至一處,所見室中多有織女,唯有一夫牽牛臨渚不飲。驚而問曰:『公何由至此?』騫乃問曰:『此是何處?』夫曰:『君可往蜀問嚴君平。』騫乃如其言,君平曰:『某年月日有客星犯於斗牛,正是至今也。既犯斗牛,必奇人也。』」分取觀智法,精明方能徹矣。故出無味之談,不可以識情妄測。

"With heavenly eyes and dragon pupils, / Piercing through completely to the bottom."
This verse cites the Bowuzhi, which says: "The Heavenly River connects with the sea. On the seashore every year in the eighth month, a miraculous raft comes and goes, never missing its appointed time. There was Zhang Qian, Marquis of Bowang, who deeply provisioned grain and departed riding the raft, rushing along unaware of day and night. Suddenly he arrived at a place where in the chamber he saw many weaving maidens, and only one husband leading an ox by the water's edge without drinking. Startled, he asked: 'By what means did you arrive here, sir?' Qian then asked: 'What place is this?' The husband said: 'You may go to Shu and ask Yan Junping.' Qian acted according to his words, and Junping said: 'On such-and-such year, month, and day, a guest star trespassed upon the Dipper and the Ox constellations; that was precisely your arrival. Since you trespassed upon the Dipper and the Ox, you must be an extraordinary person.'" Drawing from this for the method of contemplating wisdom, only through lucid clarity can one fathom completely. Therefore flavorless talk is uttered, which cannot be falsely measured by conscious feelings.
