虛堂和尚語錄 9.95

師乃云：「六花現瑞，普賢境界全彰，三白應祈，金色真人避席，頓使乾坤一色，草木呈祥，平原二麥，欝然可觀，海豎山椒，咸霑聖澤，無為願廣，恩大難酬，不須江路野梅香，雪裏一枝斜更好，時康物阜，天清地寧。」

The Master then said: "The six-petaled flowers display auspiciousness, the realm of Samantabhadra is fully revealed; the three snowfalls answer prayers, the golden-colored true person yields his seat. Suddenly heaven and earth are made of one color, plants and trees present good omens; the two wheats on the level plains are luxuriant and splendid to behold; sea heights and mountain peaks are all imbued with imperial grace. The non-active vows are vast, great kindness is difficult to repay. There is no need for the fragrance of wild plums along the river road; a single branch slanting through the snow is even better. The times are peaceful and things are plentiful; heaven is clear and earth is tranquil."
