虛堂和尚語錄 3.10

3.10

師至法座前，焚香望闕謝恩畢，捧勅黃，示眾云：「約束萬象，聳動人天，風雲會合，來自日邊，縱饒海口亦難宣。」

The Master arrived before the Dharma seat, burned incense, gazed toward the imperial palace, and finished giving thanks for the imperial grace. Holding up the imperial yellow decree, he showed it to the assembly, saying: "It regulates the myriad phenomena and stirs humans and gods; wind and clouds convene, arriving from beside the sun. Even an ocean of a mouth would find it hard to declare."
