圓悟佛果禪師語錄 20.27

20.27

The envoy does not bring disgrace upon the mandate; / In confronting dynamic potential, value independent response. / Quiet meditation strokes the tiger's whiskers; / Every step transcends what is beyond the ordinary. / Not only arranged beneath the bright window, / But set upon the Chan bed, pressing against the sheer cliff. / Raising the mallet and holding up the whisk, unleashing heroic eloquence; / Golden tones and jade resonances, like rushing thunder. / For ninety days, eminent and free, holding up the lineage essentials; / Patch-robed monks in great numbers constantly follow your style. / The methods of untying knots and removing bonds are sharp; / Driving away the ox and snatching the food are all the more composed. / With the summer retreat ended, thinking of the mountains and wishing to return, / Settling the single matter of Wuling. / Crawling through the burrows of principles inside the chest; / As you travel along, have no fear of lacking an intimate friend. / At the point of departure, you ask me for a farewell piece: / A diamond cage within a chestnut burr! / A short song requires dozens of yards; / A long phrase needs only two or three words. / The golden-haired lion knows how to turn its body; / Such a one is an outstanding person in the monastic grove. / Before long, from the solitary peak, a great roar: / Five petals on one flower, heaven and earth are spring.
