宏智禪師廣錄 9.452

9.452

精神自然。秋早春先。蟠胸丘壑。繞齒風煙。理無生而心傳阿祖。
神不死而道出諸僊。蒼黃酢酬兮將軍囓鏃之日。
黑白勝負兮樵子爛柯之年。

Spirit is spontaneous; / Autumn is early, spring is first. / Hills and valleys coiled in the chest; / Wind and mist swirling around the teeth. / Principle is unarisen, mind transmitted from the patriarchs; / Spirit never dies, the Way surpasses all immortals. / Flurried exchange on the day the general bit the arrowheads; / Black and white victory and defeat in the woodcutter's year of the rotted ax-handle.
