宏智禪師廣錄 9.111

9.111

山高早雪水深先秋。功勳極處退一步。黑白前時贏一籌。
相隨來也還知否。南北東西得自由。

High mountains catch the early snow; deep waters see autumn first. / Where merit reaches its peak, take a step back; / before black and white, win a tally. / Coming along in succession, do you know it yet? / North, south, east, and west, attaining freedom.
