### [10.45](https://indike.org/pramana/in.bauddha.taisho.2000.10.45)

凜凜聲華出禁闈，行藏多是合天機，圓明定力人皆有，妙得心傳世所稀。都省節使太尉董公，氣吞佛祖，眼蓋乾坤，赤心奉上，則氣烈嚴霜，綱紀禁庭，則風行草偃，隨珠絕纇，趙璧無瑕，人間萬事只如許，大笑一聲天地空。今也溪山雲塢，處處逢迎，水鳥樹林，互相顯發。只如轉位就功，出門一句作麼生？拊棺云：高空有月千門照，大道無人獨自行。

> "A stern and imposing reputation departs the forbidden palace;  
> His actions and retirements mostly harmonized with celestial mechanisms.  
> Completely luminous stability is possessed by all people;  
> Subtly attaining the mind-transmission is rare in the world."  
> Lord Dong, Military Commissioner and Grand Commandant of the Department of State Affairs, had spirit that swallowed Buddhas and ancestors, eyes that covered heaven and earth. In red-hearted service to his superiors, his integrity was like severe frost; in regulating the imperial quarters, his influence moved like wind across the grass. Like Sui's pearl free of flaw, like Zhao's jade without blemish. All affairs of the human world are just like this; with a single great laugh, heaven and earth are void. Now across valley streams and cloud-clad ridges, everywhere encounters him; water birds and groves mutually reveal it. Right now, turning the position to approach accomplishment, what about the phrase upon going out the door? Striking the coffin, he said: "The moon high in the empty sky shines on a thousand gates;  
> On the great road without people, one walks alone."
