圓悟佛果禪師語錄 4.33

4.33

三月望日，上堂云：「華殘雨過已度韶光，風暖雲凝將臨夏景，不逐四時凋變，隨例七八五分，更或削跡吞聲，未免牽藤引蔓，百草頭上則且置，脚下泥深一句作麼生道？春日晴黃鶯鳴。」

On the full moon of the third month, [the Master] ascended the hall and said: "The flowers have faded and the rain has passed, the radiant spring has already departed; the wind is warm and clouds gather, the summer scenery is about to arrive. Not following the seasonal withering and changing, following the precedent of seven, eight, and five portions; if further erasing tracks and swallowing words, one cannot avoid entangling vines and creepers. Leaving aside atop the hundred grasses, how do you speak a phrase of deep mud beneath the feet? A clear spring day, the yellow oriole sings."
