虛堂和尚語錄 7.250

7.250

不住復新新，來從幻裡真，舊髯皆變白，老眼尚精神。
世事終難鑑，菱花亦有塵，東風原上草，不覺又生春。

Abiding nowhere, ever renewed, / Arriving from within illusion is the real. / The old beard has turned completely white; / The aged eyes are still spirited. / Worldly affairs are hard to reflect in the end; / The water-chestnut bronze mirror gathers dust as well. / Grass on the plains in the east wind: / Unawares, it brings forth spring once more.
