宏智禪師廣錄 9.47

9.47

杳杳冥冥。寒雁影沒而秋遠煙青。寂寂惺惺。
老蠶繭就而風高葉零。天機靜時活。道環虛處靈。
瀛之涵崧之鎮。乾之健坤之寧。海運鵬搏氣宇揚揚。
而吞舟魚蛻。霧披豹變文章炳炳。
而嘯風虎猛。少林之燈未續兮。洛陽人腰齊雪庭。
黃梅之衣欲傳兮。狤獠祖步移碓桯。
物不當情而氷凌脚快。鱗或燒尾兮電火氣腥。
諸塵崝嶸乎影響。三昧游戲于眺聆。跛跛挈挈也其行自信。
哆哆和和也其言不輕。家法冷淡子孫寧馨。
心歲寒而松柏試雪。色清白兮河漢含星。
鳴陰之鶴癯而壽。巢蓮之龜小而齡。
棊局未散柯爛樵丁。

Dim and boundless— / The shadow of the cold wild goose vanishes, autumn is distant and the mist is blue. / Silent and alert— / The old silkworm finishes its cocoon, the wind is high and the leaves fall. / When the heavenly mechanism is still, it comes alive; / Where the circle of the Way is empty, it is numinous. / Submerged like the ocean, stabilizing like Mount Song; / Strong like Qian, tranquil like Kun. / The sea churns as the peng takes flight with soaring spirit, / And the fish that swallows ships sheds its skin; / The fog parts as the leopard transforms with brilliant markings, / And the tiger roaring at the wind is fierce. / Before the lamp of Shaolin had been continued, / The man of Luoyang stood waist-deep in the snowy courtyard. / When the robe of Huangmei was about to be transmitted, / The wild barbarian ancestor shifted his steps on the pestle and mortar. / When things are not burdened by sentiments, stepping onto the ice is swift; / If a fish burns its tail, the smell of lightning and fire is pungent. / The myriad dust motes tower high in echoes and shadows; / The samādhi sports in beholding and listening. / Halting and limping, his walking is confident of itself; / Stammering and babbling, his words are not taken lightly. / The family tradition is austere; what fine descendants! / His mind is wintry, as pines and cypresses are tested by snow; / His countenance is pure and white, as the River of Stars contains the stars. / The crane calling from the shade is lean yet long-lived; / The turtle nesting in the lotus is small yet ancient. / Before the game of chess disperses, the woodcutter's axe handle has rotted.
