明覺禪師語錄 4.146

- **Language:** Classical Chinese

### [4.146](https://indike.org/pramana/in.bauddha.taisho.1996.4.146)

虛凝不器，有象殊域，伊河逞流，卓爾原極。鷲峯崔嵬，蟾輪乍回，列剎望重，勞生眼開。開也誰覩，迅振高古，或葉或華，自三自五。天子褒稱兮禪定師，而今而後兮香風吹。

> Empty and congealed, he is no mere vessel; / having form, he manifests in distinct domains. / The Yi River displays its flow; / towering and eminent, his source is the summit. / Mount Gṛdhrakūṭa looms high and sheer; / the toad's wheel \[of the moon\] suddenly turns. / In the ranks of monasteries, his reputation is weighty; / toiling lives have their eyes opened. / Opened—yet who beholds it? / Swiftly he roused ancient antiquity. / Some as leaves, some as flowers; / naturally three, naturally five. / The Son of Heaven bestowed praise: "Master of Dhyāna-Concentration"; / from now into the future, the fragrant breeze blows.
