宏智禪師廣錄 2.23

- **Language:** Classical Chinese

### [2.23](https://indike.org/pramana/in.bauddha.taisho.2001.2.23)

兩堂雲水盡分拏。王老師能驗正邪。利刀斬斷俱亡像。  
千古令人愛作家。此道未喪。知音可嘉。  
鑿山透海兮唯尊大禹。鍊石補天兮獨賢女媧。  
趙州老有生涯。草鞋頭戴較些些。異中來也還明鑒。  
只箇真金不混沙。

> Monks of both halls were locked in dispute;  
> Master Wang could test the upright and the perverse.  
> A sharp blade cuts through, both forms erased;  
> For a thousand ages he makes people admire an adept.  
> This Way has not perished;  
> Those who know the tune are worthy of praise.  
> Boring through mountains and penetrating the sea, Great Yu alone is revered;  
> Smelting stones to mend the heavens, Nüwa alone is esteemed.  
> Old Zhaozhou has his own livelihood;  
> Wearing straw sandals on his head is rather superior.  
> Coming from difference, the clear mirror still reflects;  
> Only this pure gold is unmixed with sand.
