6.129

少室傳來兔角杖,千聖護持為頂相,虎踞龍蟠勢未休,
雲影山形冷相向。有時閑倚在處空,
寥寥匝地凝秋霜,有時大作師子吼,德嶠臨濟何茫茫。
今日提來還不惜,分明普示諸知識,
解拈天下任橫行,高振風規有何極。

Transmitted from Shaoshi, this staff of hare's horns / Has been safeguarded by a thousand sages as the crown mark. / Its posture like a crouching tiger or coiling dragon does not rest; / Mountain forms and cloud shadows face it coldly. / At times leaning idly, wherever it rests is emptiness; / Solitary, covering the earth, it congeals autumn frost. / At times it roars the great lion's roar— / How boundless are Dejiao and Linji! / Today it is brought forth without any stinginess, / Distinctly displayed to all spiritual friends. / If you know how to wield it, you may stride freely throughout the world; / Highly rousing the ancestral standard, what limit could there be?
