虛堂和尚語錄 8.115

- **Language:** Classical Chinese

### [8.115](https://indike.org/pramana/in.bauddha.taisho.2000.8.115)

辭眾赴徑山，上堂：「秤鎚捻得汁出，石人喝得汗流，臨機應變，隨分知羞，乘時推上五峯頭。雖然，孤舟共渡，尚有夙因，兩夏一冬，可無攀感。」卓主丈：「但有路可上，更高人也行。」淨慈後錄終

> Taking leave of the assembly to go to Mount Jing, he ascended the hall: "Twisting juice out of a steelyard weight, making a stone man sweat from a shout; adapting to circumstances according to the moment, knowing shame in accordance with one's lot—carried by the season, pushed up to the peak of the Five Summits. Even so, sharing a crossing in a solitary boat still stems from past causes; having spent two summers and one winter together, how could there be no emotional ties?" He struck the staff: "Only where there is a path to climb can an even loftier person tread." End of the Later Record of Jingci.
