虛堂和尚語錄 1.157

1.157

復舉：「長慶示眾：『撞著道伴交肩過，一生參學事畢。』也是靈龜曳尾。山僧自退芝峯，託跡于茲，三歷寒暑，又勝他古人者多矣。今過海山，可無攀感，綴成一偈，以表分違：歛影窮原懶出扃，曉雲如送又如迎，因思執手經行處，幾聽沙泉遶磵鳴。」

He also cited: "Changqing instructed the assembly: 'Bumping into a companion of the Way and brushing shoulders as you pass, the matter of a lifetime's investigation and study is finished.' This too is a spiritual tortoise dragging its tail. Since retiring from Zhifeng, this mountain monk has lodged his traces here, passing through three winters and summers; this has surpassed that ancient one by far! Now crossing over ocean and mountain, how could there be no stirred feelings? I have composed a gāthā to express our parting:
Withdrawing my shadow to the deep source, I am lazy to step outside the door;
The morning clouds seem to see me off and seem to welcome me.
Recalling the places where we walked hand in hand,
How many times did we listen to the sandy spring murmuring around the ravine?"
