宏智禪師廣錄 9.37

- **Language:** Classical Chinese

### [9.37](https://indike.org/pramana/in.bauddha.taisho.2001.9.37)

面孔誰傳。身心自然。鑑含萬像。海吞百川。錦機動而綵絲度。  
玉線透而金針聯。說法借口。  
嚇人空拳。平等莫移兮。任鶴長而鳧短。縱橫從變兮。  
爻坤斷而乾連。

> Who can transmit this face? / Body and mind are natural. / A mirror containing ten thousand images; / An ocean swallowing a hundred rivers. / The brocade loom moves and colored threads pass through; / The jade thread penetrates and links with the golden needle. / Preaching the Dharma with borrowed mouth; / Frightening people with an empty fist. / Equality cannot be displaced— / Let the crane's legs be long and the duck's legs short. / Adaptable, following transformations— / The lines of Kun are broken and Qian is joined.
