圓悟佛果禪師語錄 20.155

20.155

Yesterday one was truly pitiful; / today another is even more mournful. / Turning the body, he treads the path of Caoxi; / his wondrous form stands tall without change. / Master Miao loved to practice Chan, / wishing to stand shoulder to shoulder with ancestors and buddhas; / desolate, departing thus— / a single lotus in the midst of fire. / Arising, like a floating cloud suddenly emerging; / dying, like an empty flower abruptly vanishing; / behind the crown of the head, round like empty space, / in the end neither mind nor buddha. / Great assembly! Behold the single beam of red light, / blazing through the nest of the unproduced!
