明覺禪師語錄 6.9

6.9

Square robe and round crown—what meaning is proclaimed? / Continuing the flame of a thousand lamps is surely no small condition. / Flowers raining before the seat still cling to marks; / Tigers tamed beside the hermitage still delay explanation. / Cliff-dwelling and cemetery-lodging are hard to emulate; / Crane-like appearance and cloud-like mind are far detached and pure. / The jeweled staff sounds at night under the cold peak's moon; / The copper pitcher in autumn rinses in the blue pool's mist. / Renowned as an āraṇyaka, purifying clamor and deceit; / Traces mindful of the dark avenues, warning against slumber. / Beneath the trees, elegantly a traveler beyond the realm; / In the human world, fittingly a lotus amidst the fire. / Lofty sentiments do not mean surpassing the three periods of time; / The Way's presence is not the same as entering the four dhyānas. / Whom does the fleeting world urge to know the flowing water? / In deep peaks, willingly listening to the cascading spring. / Bhikṣu grass remains fragrant after the saṅgha's gathering; / The tortoiseshell bowl was transmitted prior to ancient Buddhas. / Cherish that the King of Awakening has true sons; / Pacing loftily in the earthly realm, they line the golden fields.
