宏智禪師廣錄 9.117

9.117

老態垂垂。歲月浸欺。半頭生白髮。瘦骨裹黃皮。
情閑用而活。句妙默而知。河闊斗寒雲靜夜。
天無四壁風披披。

Old age droops heavily; / months and years gradually cheat. / Half the head grows white hair; / skinny bones wrapped in yellow skin. / Feelings are at ease in functioning, thus vivid; / the phrase is subtle, known through silence. / The river is vast, the Dipper cold, clouds quiet at night; / Heaven has no four walls, wind blowing freely.
