虛堂和尚語錄 1.64

- **Language:** Classical Chinese

### [1.64](https://indike.org/pramana/in.bauddha.taisho.2000.1.64)

上堂，舉：「靈雲見桃花悟道頌，玄沙道：『諦當甚諦當，敢保老兄未徹。』」師云：「一人先行不到，一人末後太過。報恩尋常，眼見鼻孔。何故？春風幾度落紅雨，深淺何曾著眼看。」

> Ascending the hall, he cited: "Lingyun's verse on awakening to the Way upon seeing peach blossoms; Xuansha said, 'Extremely accurate it is, but I dare say the elder brother has not yet thoroughly penetrated.'" The Master said, "One departed first but did not arrive; one came up last and went too far. Ordinarily at Bao'en, eyes see nostrils. Why is that? How many times has the spring breeze made red rain fall? When did anyone ever set eyes upon its depth or shallowness?"
