虛堂和尚語錄 7.168

7.168

風帽雲巾歷所期，問津何似到家時，曲闌半倚垂楊外，
潮落潮生秪自知。

Wind hat and cloud kerchief, passing the destined bounds;
How does asking for the ferry compare to the time of arriving home?
Half-leaning against the curved balustrade beyond the weeping willows,
The falling and rising of the tide is known only to oneself.
