虛堂和尚語錄 7.278

7.278

竇深惟古雪，霄岸列危巒，到者難披頂，尋師多賣單。
無時雲氣重，長帶瀑聲寒，挨得入門句，歸來似我看。

The cavern is deep with ancient snow alone; / Towering crags line the celestial banks. / Those who reach it find it hard to bare the crown; / Searching for the master, most sell their bed-rolls. / At all times cloud vapor is dense, / Ever bearing the chill of waterfall sounds. / Weathering until you obtain the entry phrase, / Come back and show it to me.
