虛堂和尚語錄 7.226

7.226

祖師靈骨見應難，霹靂聲中過別山，父子秪緣機不密，
翻成千古是非關。

The Patriarch's numinous bones must be hard to see;
Amidst the crash of thunderclaps he passed to another mountain.
Father and son, only because the mechanism was not tight,
Turned it instead into a checkpoint of right and wrong for a thousand ages.
