明覺禪師語錄 5.143

- **Language:** Classical Chinese

### [5.143](https://indike.org/pramana/in.bauddha.taisho.1996.5.143)

大禹不知鑿，來源亦自成，色應隣眾白，聲合讓孤清。  
遠勢曾吞海，飛流未噴鯨，靈槎如可泛，天派問歸程。

> Great Yu did not know to chisel it; / Its source also formed of itself. / In color it matches the white of the crowd; / In sound it yields to solitary clarity. / Its distant momentum once swallowed the ocean; / Its cascading stream has not yet spouted whales. / If the wondrous raft can be sailed, / Inquire into the celestial branch for the journey home.
