Bereft of contrivance, functioning freely, wondrous when applied; A living eye coldly peers into the numinous in the void. Refined words are like brocade clouds, fragments of spring; Pure breath is like plum snow, scattered stars at dawn. Now that merit is exhausted, Niutou turns lazy; Flowers and birds do not come; the wind sweeps the courtyard. - [Previous: 8.166](https://indike.org/pramana/in.bauddha.taisho.2001~en-mt.8.166) - [Next: 8.168](https://indike.org/pramana/in.bauddha.taisho.2001~en-mt.8.168) - [Up: 8](https://indike.org/pramana/in.bauddha.taisho.2001~en-mt.8) ## Linked texts (1) - [宏智禪師廣錄](https://indike.org/pramana/in.bauddha.taisho.2001.8.167) — Classical Chinese --- Source: [https://indike.org/pramana/in.bauddha.taisho.2001~en-mt.8.167](https://indike.org/pramana/in.bauddha.taisho.2001~en-mt.8.167) · Pramāṇa
