明覺禪師語錄 6.131

6.131

君不見，行路難，亦容易，握草為金不為貴，難曾平地湧波瀾，
易復到處列祥瑞。堪笑堪悲能幾幾，
天上人間立高軌，兄弟十字越參星，
一義同心淡秋水。因憶韶陽古風骨，石火電光遲出沒，
隔身之句是程途，扣門之問非窠窟。
殷勤報君君記取，方外周遊看爪距，虎狼叢不遇知音，
剔起眉毛便歸去。

Do you not see:
Travel on the road is difficult, yet also easy;
Grasping grass to make gold is not what is precious.
When difficult, waves surge on level ground;
When easy, auspicious omens appear everywhere.
How much to laugh at, how much to grieve!
Establishing the lofty standard in the heavens and among humans,
Brothers cross paths in all directions like the stars Shen and Chen,
With one principle and identical hearts, tranquil as autumn waters.
I recall the ancient spirit of Shaoyang:
Sparks of flint and flashes of lightning are slow to appear and disappear;
Phrases that leave behind the body mark the wayfarer's road,
Inquiries knocking at the gate are not nesting burrows.
Earnestly I tell you, and you must remember:
Wander beyond boundaries and inspect the claws and spurs;
If you do not meet one who knows the tone in the thickets of tigers and wolves,
Twitch your eyebrows and straightway return.
