明覺禪師語錄 6.22

- **Language:** Classical Chinese

### [6.22](https://indike.org/pramana/in.bauddha.taisho.1996.6.22)

武陵山來何祕邃，元化功兮不容易，壇曾善卷韜龍光，  
洞亦桃華副麟趾。仍思昔日吾祖，  
浩浩提綱宗，消息曠斷寰宇空，又聞高大舜讓公器，  
祥瑞却生蘆葦叢。人由境兮冥道德，  
境有人兮分玉石，臻禪本自偃殊方，忽向其中誕孤跡。  
迢迢海甸來尋我，一十二年同冷坐，  
羽翼摶風今是時，拂盡天雲乃飛過。

> How secret and deep is Mount Wuling!  
> The work of primal transformation is not easily accomplished.  
> At the altar, Shan Juan once concealed his dragon radiance;  
> In the cave, peach blossoms also accompanied the qilin's steps.  
> I still recall of old our patriarch,  
> Vastly raising the ancestral guideline:  
> News cut off far and wide, the realm became empty.  
> Again I heard the lofty and great Shun yield the public vessel,  
> Yet auspicious signs arose amidst the clump of reeds.  
> A person relies on the place to merge with the Way and virtue;  
> A place relies on a person to distinguish jade from stone.  
> Practitioner Zhen originally reposed in distant regions,  
> Then suddenly within this realm revealed his solitary trace.  
> From distant sea shores you came looking for me;  
> For twelve years we sat cold together.  
> Spreading wings to beat the wind, now is the time;  
> Only after brushing away all the clouds in the sky do you fly past.
