圓悟佛果禪師語錄 4.27

4.27

On the Opening of the Imperial Birthday, [the Master] ascended the hall and said: "Supporting heaven on the head and treading the earth underfoot, together we bear the imperial grace; bearing teeth and wearing hair, equally we receive the sovereign's power. The Divine Empyrean confers celebrations, the true ruler demonstrates birth; pouring out the loyal hearts of ten thousand states, wishing long life for the One Sacred Person. Direct in the open there is a road, ten thousand streams pay homage to the ancestor; with a phrase free of selfishness, one readily pours out one's liver and gall. Do you fully understand? Great radiance equals the Northern Culmen; the sacred lifespan matches the Southern Mountain."
