宏智禪師廣錄 2.25

- **Language:** Classical Chinese

### [2.25](https://indike.org/pramana/in.bauddha.taisho.2001.2.25)

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.
