宏智禪師廣錄 8.13

English (machine translation) 8.13

Language: English

8.13

When gold emerges from ore, former doubts are severed; / when the shore moves and the boat stays still, one realizes how one was deceived.
Moving the eyes is oneself disturbing the clear water; / gathering fireflies cannot burn Mount Sumeru without an ego.
When the film dissolves, one readily sees that flying flowers are gone; / when the mechanism is swift, one soon knows that striking lightning is slow.
Recognize the master within the stolid hermitage; / how could external māras reach the fence?
