如淨和尚語錄 1.39

1.39

請緣西堂。再充首座。上堂。當堂不露。主人翁元是舊時。借影全彰。第一座屈煩今日。雪夜金烏歷堂炎天玉兔轉懷。妙叶兒孫。全該祖父。木人執板雲中拍。石女含笙水底吸。雖然如是且道。垂手那邊一句。又作麼生。陋巷不騎金色馬。回途却著破襴衫。

Requesting West Hall Yuan to serve again as head monk, ascending the hall: "Not revealed in the hall, the master of the house was originally the one of old; fully manifest by borrowing a shadow, the first seat is troubled today. On a snowy night, the golden crow passes through the hall; on a scorching day, the jade rabbit turns its bosom. Wonderfully matching, son and grandson; fully encompassing, grandfather and father. The wooden man claps clappers in the clouds; the stone woman holds a sheng and breathes beneath the water. Although it is like this, tell me: what about the phrase on the side of extending hands? In the narrow alley, he does not ride the golden horse; on the return journey, he wears his tattered robe."
