圓悟佛果禪師語錄 18.50

18.50

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?
