汾陽無德禪師語錄 3.201

3.201

余今周甲子，孰可知生死，四大夢中漚，一身葉上水。浮雲不久停，甘蔗豈長美，唯有一靈光，曠劫何曾墜。

I have now completed a sixty-year cycle; / Who can know life and death? / The four elements are foam in a dream; / A single body is water on a leaf. / Floating clouds do not linger long; / How could sugar cane remain sweet forever? / There is only the one spiritual radiance; / Through vast kalpas, how has it ever fallen?
