大慧普覺禪師語錄 12.56

12.56

頭如杓，面如楪，口無舌，說無竭。是而非，同而別，種空華，抽暗楔。死木蛇，活如蝎，擊塗毒，腦門裂。是阿誰，甘露滅。

Head like a ladle, face like a dish;
mouth without a tongue, speaking without exhaustion.
Affirming yet denying, identical yet distinct;
planting flowers in emptiness, pulling out hidden wedges.
A dead wooden snake, living like a scorpion;
striking the poisoned drum, skull splits open.
Who is it? The nectar is extinguished.
