虛堂和尚語錄 2.60

2.60

上堂：「諸方朝呪暮呪，要兜爾做羹飯主，我者裏疥狗不願生天。爾若向無人行處，尋得一條路子，蕩蕩地臨機自由自在，便是我同流。」

Ascending the hall: "In all quarters they chant incantations morning and evening, wanting to drag you into being master of the broth and rice. Here with me, an itchy mangy dog does not wish to be born in heaven. If you find a path where no one walks, vast and open, completely free at the turning point, then you are my fellow traveler."
