7.7

四月八日,留知事上堂云:「獨掌不浪鳴,獨樹不成林,大家出隻手,折脚鐺子頗堪任。」復云:「昔日毘藍園裏,今朝古佛廟前,裂轉雲門關捩,且浴無垢金仙,杓兒纔把處,蹉過祖師禪。」

On the eighth day of the fourth month, at the ascending of the hall to retain the monastic officers, he said, "A single palm does not clap in vain; a single tree does not make a forest. Let everyone lend a hand, and the broken-legged caldron can well bear its duty." He added, "Formerly in the Lumbinī Grove, / Today before the ancient Buddha's shrine. / Turning around the turning-mechanism of Yunmen, / We bathe the immaculate Golden Immortal. / The moment the ladle is taken in hand, / One misses the Patriarchal Chan."
