宏智禪師廣錄 9.161

- **Language:** Classical Chinese

### [9.161](https://indike.org/pramana/in.bauddha.taisho.2001.9.161)

秋入眼角。春生鼻筒。鉗鎚堅外。槖籥虛中。世機抱甕之拙。  
道用斲輪之工。蜂採華房兮。蠟脾釀蜜。  
犀酣桂轂兮。兔鼻流通。

> Autumn enters the corners of the eyes; spring arises in the nostrils. / Tongs and hammer are firm outside; the bellows is empty within. / Worldly contrivance has the clumsiness of carrying a jug of water; / the Dao's function possesses the skill of wheel-carving. / Bees gather from flower chambers: wax honeycombs brew honey. / The rhinoceros enjoys the cassia hub: the rabbit's nose flows freely.
