汾陽無德禪師語錄 1.72

1.72

師云：「朝來暮去即便冬深也，如今這裏與兄弟大家，持論長處即就，有利濟可行，各自半百地，更不明了本分事，大屈，莫虛過十生五生。不用久立，珍重。」

The Master said: "Mornings arrive and evenings depart, and soon it is deep winter. Now here together with you brothers, if we maintain discussions where our strengths lie, it can be accomplished; if there is benefit and relief, it can be practiced. Each of you is in your fifties, and if you still do not clearly understand your fundamental concern, it is a great grievance; do not pass through ten lives or five lives in vain. No need to stand long; take care."
