圓悟佛果禪師語錄 18.50

- **Language:** Classical Chinese

### [18.50](https://indike.org/pramana/in.bauddha.taisho.1997.18.50)

不問有無言，言前立問端，兩邊俱坐斷，一劍倚天寒。鞭影未動，歷塊過都，慈門既開，陵有轢無，遼天鼻孔須穿却，誰是追風天馬駒？

> Not asking about words or wordlessness: / before words, he sets up the point of inquiry. / Both sides are completely cut off; / a single sword leans cold against the sky. / Before the shadow of the whip moves, / he gallops past mounds and traverses capitals. / Once the gate of compassion opens, / he rides over existence and tramples non-existence. / The sky-soaring nostrils must be pierced through: / who is the celestial colt chasing the wind?
