如淨和尚語錄 1.63

1.63

退院赴淨慈。上堂。半年喫飯坐鞔峯。鎖斷烟雲千萬重。忽地一聲轟霹靂。帝鄉春色杏花紅。

Ascending the hall on retiring from the monastery to proceed to Jingci: For half a year eating rice and sitting on Ban Peak; locked away behind thousands of layers of mist and clouds. Suddenly a roar of thunder claps; in the imperial capital spring colors show apricot blossoms red.
