5.50

曹溪流,非止水,一點忽來,千波自起。直須釣鼇釣鯨,
莫問得皮得髓。君不見,石頭有言兮,
聖不慕他,靈不在已。成禪成禪,誰家之子。

The flow of Caoxi is no stagnant water;
A single drop suddenly arrives, and a thousand waves naturally rise.
You must hook the giant turtle and angle the whale directly;
Do not ask about attaining the skin or attaining the marrow.
Do you not see that Shitou had a saying:
'The sage does not admire others; the numinous does not reside in oneself.'
Chan practitioner Cheng, Chan practitioner Cheng, whose child are you?
