宏智禪師廣錄 8.357

8.357

作別江頭五載餘。海邊相訪未嫌迃。山林意與世幾絕。
丘壑姿逢秋更癯。約我道耕新活計。
輟君詩戰老工夫。兒婚女嫁誰家事。居士有心從馬駒。

Since parting by the riverbank, more than five years have passed;
visiting me at the seashore, you did not mind the detour.
My mountain-forest disposition has almost severed worldly ties;
my hill-and-valley posture, meeting autumn, is still leaner.
You agreed with my new livelihood of plowing the Way;
put aside your old craft of battling with poetry.
Marrying off sons and giving daughters away—whose family affair is that?
The layman has the mind to follow Ma-the-Colt.
