虛堂和尚語錄 2.74

2.74

達磨第二忌拈香：「葱嶺不見宋雲，全身豈在熊耳，石火電光殊莫擬，雙檮堂上再相逢，究竟何曾缺兩齒，雪際傳心，節灰厭鬼，後代兒孫誰采爾，麁羹淡飯當殷勤，四海香風從此起。」

Offering incense on Bodhidharma's second death anniversary: "At Congling Song Yun did not see him; how could his whole body have been at Xiong'er? Flint-struck sparks and flashes of lightning cannot compare at all. Meeting again in the Hall of the Twin Lindens, in the end how could two teeth ever have been missing? Transmitting the mind amidst the snow, using bamboo joint ashes to subdue ghosts—who in later generations of sons and grandsons will heed you? Coarse broth and plain rice should be served with earnest devotion; from here, the fragrant wind of the four seas arises."
