法演禪師語錄 2.98

2.98

Raising the funeral procession for the reciter Neng, he said, "Originally it was you who should send me off; / Today it is I who send you off. / Life and death are ordinary matters: / Pushed down, then helped back up." Reaching the gravesite, he addressed the assembly again, saying, "Today is precisely the eighth day of the third month; / Let those sending off the funeral listen: / Look at the peach blossoms red along the road— / They are all the blood in the eyes of departing ones."
