明覺禪師語錄 6.18

6.18

中峯深且寒，欹接海邊島，松凋不死枝，華折未萌草。
飛瀑吼蛟宮，幽徑分鳥道，伊余空寂徒，
浮光寄枯槁。冥遊天地間，誰兮可尋討，孤立雲霞外，
誰兮可長保。茲來仁者來，還稱大白老，
何策扣巖扃，重席展懷抱。示我商頌清，
休誇郢歌好，報投漸抒辭，難以論嘉藻。

The Central Peak is deep and cold,
Leaning over to connect with the islands along the sea.
Pines wither on deathless branches;
Flowers are plucked from grass that has yet to sprout.
The flying cascade roars at the flood-dragon's palace;
The secluded trail branches into the bird's path.
As for me, a follower of empty stillness,
My fleeting radiance rests in withered decay.
Drifting through heaven and earth,
Who is there that can be sought out?
Standing alone beyond the clouds and sunset glow,
Who is there that can preserve it for long?
Now the benevolent one has arrived,
Called once again the Elder of Taibai.
With what strategy did you knock on the cliff's bolted gate,
And double the mat to unfold your inner thoughts?
You show me the clarity of the Shang Eulogies;
Cease boasting of the excellence of the Ying songs!
In repaying and presenting [this], I gradually set forth my words,
Though it is difficult to match your fine phrasing.
