宏智禪師廣錄 2.172

- **Language:** Classical Chinese

### [2.172](https://indike.org/pramana/in.bauddha.taisho.2001.2.172)

妙藥何曾過口。神醫莫能投手。若存也渠本非無。  
至虛也渠本非有。不滅而生。不亡而壽。  
全超威音之前。獨步劫空之後。成平也天蓋地擎。  
運轉也烏飛兔走。

> When has the wonderful medicine ever passed the mouth?  
> The divine physician cannot even lay a hand.  
> If existing, that one is fundamentally not non-existent;  
> At the utmost emptiness, that one is fundamentally not existent.  
> Unborn without perishing;  
> Long-lived without dying.  
> Completely surpassing what came before Bhīṣmagarjitasvararāja;  
> Walking alone after the kalpa of emptiness.  
> When level and peaceful, heaven covers and earth bears;  
> When revolving and turning, the raven flies and the hare runs.
