宏智禪師廣錄 4.23

4.23

Ascending the hall, the Master said: "With a solitary staff I long roamed as cloud and water; / what matter is it that is now laid down to rest? / A single point breaks through obscurity, distinctly luminous; / completely fitting the body, cold and desolate. / In the dark one must penetrate the golden needle's eye; / at the turning point, one still conceals the jade thread's end. / The family style beyond the kalpa is distinguished today; / that fellow is truly a peer to me."
