法演禪師語錄 3.31

- **Language:** Classical Chinese

### [3.31](https://indike.org/pramana/in.bauddha.taisho.1995.3.31)

上堂云：「悟了同未悟，歸家尋舊路，一字是一字，一句是一句。自小不脫空，兩歲學移步，湛水生蓮花，一年生一度。」

> Ascending the hall, the Master said: “Once enlightened, it is the same as being unenlightened; / Returning home to find the old path. / A single character is a single character; / A single phrase is a single phrase. / From youth not straying into emptiness, / At two years old learning to walk. / In clear water lotus blossoms grow, / Blooming once a year.”
