筠州洞山悟本禪師語錄 1.161

1.161

聖主由來法帝堯，御人以禮曲龍腰，
有時鬧市頭邊過，到處文明賀聖朝（向）。
淨洗濃莊為阿誰，子規聲裡勸人歸，
百花落盡啼無盡，更向亂峯深處啼（奉）。
枯木花開劫外春，倒騎玉象趁麒麟，
而今高隱千峯外，月皎風清好日辰（功）。
眾生諸佛不相侵，山自高兮水自深，
萬別千差明底事，鷓鴣啼處百花新（共功）。
頭角纔生已不堪，擬心求佛好羞慚，
迢迢空劫無人識，肯向南詢五十三（功功）。

The sacred sovereign originally models himself after Emperor Yao, / Ruling the people with propriety, bending the dragon's waist; / Sometimes passing through the busy marketplace, / Everywhere culture flourishes, celebrating the sage dynasty. (Direction)

For whom has she washed clean her thick makeup? / Amid the cuckoo's call urging people to return; / Though the hundred flowers have all fallen, its cries do not end, / Calling out further toward the depths of the tangled peaks. (Service)

The withered tree blooms into flowers in the spring beyond kalpas; / Riding the jade elephant backward to chase the qilin; / Now hidden high beyond a thousand peaks, / The moon is bright, the wind is pure, on a fine day. (Merit)

Sentient beings and all Buddhas do not infringe on one another; / Mountains are naturally high, waters are naturally deep; / What matter do the ten thousand distinctions clarify? / Where the partridge calls, the hundred flowers are fresh. (Shared Merit)

As soon as horns begin to sprout, one is already inadequate; / How shameful to intend in one's mind to seek the Buddha! / In the vast empty kalpas, no one knows it; / Who would be willing to go south to consult the fifty-three? (Merit of Merit)
