虛堂和尚語錄 10.94

10.94

老不死，心未灰，觸著惡發，青天怒雷，引得虎頭燕頷，競起叢林禍胎，點著便領，何其俊哉。

Old and not dying, his heart has not turned to ashes;
when provoked, his fierce temper flares—thunder raging across a blue sky.
Leading on tiger heads and swallow chins,
they contend in stirring up seeds of calamity in the monasteries.
Once touched, he immediately grasps it—
how exceptionally talented he is!
