虛堂和尚語錄 6.372

- **Language:** Classical Chinese

### [6.372](https://indike.org/pramana/in.bauddha.taisho.2000.6.372)

移圓就方則辛，抑方為圓則苦，衲鑿不相入，  
是無準門戶，五峯峨峨兮等觀，萬象撥撥兮誰覩，  
霜降水落，子歸就父。

> Shifting the round to fit the square is painful; / pressing the square into the round is bitter. / Tenon and mortise do not fit together— / this is the house of Wuzhun. / The Five Peaks tower loftily, viewed with equality; / the ten thousand forms stir and thrash—who beholds them? / When frost falls and water recedes, / the son returns to his father.
