宏智禪師廣錄 5.18

- **Language:** Classical Chinese

### [5.18](https://indike.org/pramana/in.bauddha.taisho.2001.5.18)

至道無難。  
言端語端。一有多種。二無兩般。天際日上月下。  
檻前山深水寒。髑髏識盡喜何立。枯木龍吟消未乾。  
難難。揀擇明白君自看。

> "The Great Way is not difficult; / The words are direct, the speech is direct. / One has many kinds; / Two has no two sorts. / On the horizon, the sun rises and the moon sets; / In front of the railing, the mountains are deep and the waters cold. / When consciousness is exhausted in the skull, how can joy stand? / The dragon hums in the withered wood, not yet dried up. / Difficult, difficult! / Picking and choosing, clarity—look for yourself!"
