汾陽無德禪師語錄 3.169

3.169

夫子有真知，五常是要規，百王不能易，千載洽昌時。老子有丹訣，人間近可師，去華能守實，此外更無知。我佛有真眼，照盡世間疑，三千大千界，一念能總知。三教鼎三足，無令缺一物，推窮因果門，究竟不如佛。

The Master has true knowledge; / The five constants are essential rules. / A hundred kings cannot alter them; / For a thousand years they accord with flourishing eras. / Laozi has the elixir recipe, / Close at hand in the human world to be mastered. / Discarding superficiality, he can preserve substance; / Beyond this, he knows nothing else. / Our Buddha has the true eye, / Illuminating all the world's doubts. / The three-thousand great-thousand realms, / In a single thought he knows completely. / The three teachings form the three legs of a tripod; / Do not let a single one be lacking. / Yet investigating thoroughly the gate of cause and effect, / In the end, none compares to the Buddha.
