法演禪師語錄 1.94

1.94

上堂云：「我有一柄帚，掃盡雪山雪；我有一張口，臨事無可說；我有一雙眼，和盲悖訴瞎。任意過平生，烏龜喚作鼈，處世學為人，喫水須防噎。仰山曾道底，兩口一無舌，四海五湖人，當陽瞥不瞥。」

Ascending the hall, he said: "I have a broom / That sweeps away all the snow of the Snow Mountains; / I have a mouth / That has nothing to say when facing affairs; / I have a pair of eyes / That together with the blind are obstinately unseeing. / Passing my life as I please, / I call a tortoise a terrapin. / Living in the world and learning to deal with people, / When drinking water, one must guard against choking. / That which Yangshan once said: / 'Two mouths, yet not a single tongue.' / People of the four seas and five lakes, / Right out in the open, do you catch a glimpse or not?"
