12.122

一千七百癡衲子,圍遶這箇無明叟,細膩渾沒一星兒,麁慥却有七八斗。未甞寂寂入禪定,終日波波廊下走,為人巴鼻亦好笑,更不容人謾開口。盲枷瞎棒當慈悲,是與不是劈脊婁(上聲),如斯主法作宗師,枉續牟尼子孫後。
本禪千萬莫學伊,學伊和爾不唧𠺕。

One thousand seven hundred foolish patch-robed monks / Surround this old fellow of ignorance. / Delicacy and refinement he has not an ounce of, / But coarse roughness he has seven or eight bushels of. / Never has he entered tranquil Chan meditation; / All day long he rushes along the corridors. / His way of handling people is laughable too; / He allows no one to carelessly open their mouth. / Blind flails and blind sticks serve as his compassion; / Right or wrong, he strikes them straight across the spine! / Presiding over the Dharma and acting as a lineage teacher like this, / He in vain continues the lineage of Śākyamuni's descendants. / Ben, Chan practitioner, by no means learn from him; / If you learn from him, you too will end up useless and inept.
