2.25

年老成精不謬傳。趙州古佛嗣南泉。枯龜喪命因圖象。
良馬追風累纏牽。勘破了老婆禪。說向人前不直錢。

Old age turning into a spirit is no false rumour;
Zhaozhou, the ancient Buddha, is the heir of Nanquan.
A dried tortoise loses its life because of diagrams;
A fine steed chasing the wind is burdened by its harness.
Having seen through the old woman's Chan,
Told before people, it is not worth a penny.
