虛堂和尚語錄 10.7

- **Language:** Classical Chinese

### [10.7](https://indike.org/pramana/in.bauddha.taisho.2000.10.7)

古道兼禪到，躬行得幾年，乾坤資定力，心月鑑前緣。一靜人難學，三生話未圓，老來重有約，不在北山邊。

> The ancient path reaches along with Chan;  
> How many years have you practiced in person?  
> Heaven and earth support the power of stability;  
> The mind-moon reflects prior affinities.  
> Quietness alone is hard for people to learn;  
> The talk of three lives is not yet complete.  
> Growing old, there is another appointment—  
> It will not be beside the Northern Mountains.
