虛堂和尚語錄 10.52

10.52

閩山青、浙水碧，去住悠悠忘影跡，急從秋覲整禪衣，不知天地誰相識。有相識，無準的，南山爐鞴正炎，爾看是甚火色。

Fujian’s mountains are green, Zhejiang’s waters blue;
going and staying are leisurely, forgetting shadows and traces.
Hastening from the autumn audience to straighten his meditation robe,
he wondered who in heaven and earth would recognize him.
If one is recognized, there is still no fixed measure;
the bellows and furnace of Nanshan are blazing hot—look and see what color the fire is!
