虛堂和尚語錄 10.82

- **Language:** Classical Chinese

### [10.82](https://indike.org/pramana/in.bauddha.taisho.2000.10.82)

黃梅不墜腰間石，鄮嶺惟栽帶雨松，四十餘年今有驗，長長短短用無窮。祖衣未得入手，萬緣先以頓空，無柄钁頭何處著，一時分付丙丁童。

> At Huangmei, the stone at the waist never fell;  
> on the ridges of Mao, he planted only rain-bearing pines.  
> Over forty years, today there is proof:  
> long or short, its use is boundless.  
> Before the ancestral robe came into his hands,  
> all conditions were first suddenly emptied.  
> Where can the handleless mattock be placed?  
> All at once, entrust it to the fire-boy Bingding.
