虛堂和尚語錄 10.104

10.104

紹既明白，語不失宗，手頭簸弄，金圈栗蓬，大唐國裡無人會，又却乘流過海東。

Since the succession is already clear, his words do not stray from the ancestral source.
In his hands he tosses and turns diamond cages and chestnut burrs;
in the land of the Great Tang, no one understood,
so once more he rides the current to cross over east of the sea.
