虛堂和尚語錄 10.7

10.7

The ancient path reaches along with Chan;
How many years have you practiced in person?
Heaven and earth support the power of stability;
The mind-moon reflects prior affinities.
Quietness alone is hard for people to learn;
The talk of three lives is not yet complete.
Growing old, there is another appointment—
It will not be beside the Northern Mountains.
