虛堂和尚語錄 10.147

- **Language:** Classical Chinese

### [10.147](https://indike.org/pramana/in.bauddha.taisho.2000.10.147)

假道鍼鋒上，行藏雲水中，且非心法妙，自是手頭通。前輩多遺偈，靈襟出眾工，明朝何處去，黃葉度谿風。

> Borrowing a path upon the needle's tip, / Moving and abiding among clouds and water. / It is not the marvelous art of the mind-Dharma, / But simply the dexterity of his hand. / Predecessors left many verses behind; / His spiritual capacity surpasses ordinary craftsmen. / Where will he go tomorrow? / Yellow leaves cross the stream breeze.
