虛堂和尚語錄 7.196

- **Language:** Classical Chinese

### [7.196](https://indike.org/pramana/in.bauddha.taisho.2000.7.196)

天籟發中靜，峯高遠出雲，有來非眼聽，無處足心聞。  
蒲冷禪衣弊，窓虛月影分，大功終不宰，縱爾自云云。

> Heaven's pipes arise from inner stillness,  
> The peak is high, reaching far above the clouds.  
> What comes is not heard by the eyes;  
> Where there is nothing suffices for the mind to hear.  
> Rushes are cold, the Chan robe worn out;  
> The window is empty, moonlight divides in shadows.  
> The great achievement in the end does not rule;  
> Let it speak on for itself.
