虛堂和尚語錄 9.70

9.70

謝福州光首座秉拂上堂：「夫蠱者最靈通，不期而會，不約而同，拶著崖崩石裂，拋出金圈栗蓬，驚倒露柱，嚇殺燈籠，不知何處毒種，元來門裏有蟲。」

Thanking Chief Seat Guang of Fuzhou for taking the whisk, ascending the hall: "A sorcerer's parasite is the most magically efficacious: meeting without appointment, coinciding without agreement. When pressed, cliffs crumble and rocks split; it tosses out diamond cages and chestnut burrs, terrifying the open pillar and frightening the lantern to death. Not knowing from where this virulent seed came, it turns out there is an insect within the door."
