如淨和尚語錄 2.116

- **Language:** Classical Chinese

### [2.116](https://indike.org/pramana/in.bauddha.taisho.2002a.2.116)

箇是淨慈毛和尚。口言禍福有定當。逐日隨緣去赴齋。  
是謂兩脚功德藏。彫裝千佛布砌兩廊。  
判斷一切魍魎鬼。主管五百羅漢堂。至於修橋造路。  
與夫浴主街坊。聞一切善事。如蠅見血。  
聞一切惡事。似蟹落湯。有時隨摟搜。  
若萬回老子歡喜。有時放歇蹶。若布袋和尚顛狂。  
得一文錢不曾落地。合十爪掌常乃謝天。  
只一味朴直。無些子壒塵。所以打動好事檀那。  
畫出這般面觜。且道如何比擬。八月十五中夜涼。  
一輪月照西湖水。

> This is the hairy monk of Jingci; / His mouth speaks of fortune and misfortune with certainty. / Day by day, following conditions, he goes to attend feasts; / He is called a two-legged treasury of merit. / Carving and decorating a thousand Buddhas, laying out the flagstones of the two corridors, / Judging all mountain demons and water sprites, in charge of the hall of the five hundred arhats; / As for repairing bridges, building roads, / And dealing with the bathhouse master and neighborhood quarters: / Hearing of any good deed, he is like a fly smelling blood; / Hearing of any bad deed, he is like a crab dropped into boiling water. / Sometimes disorderly and unkempt, / Like the joyful old fellow Wanhui; / Sometimes stumbling and reckless, / Like the mad monk Budai. / When he gets a single coin, it never drops to the ground; / Folding his ten-clawed hands, he constantly thanks Heaven. / Plain and straightforward through and through, without a speck of dust. / Therefore, stirring good-hearted dānapatis, / They painted this kind of mug. / And tell me: how can it be compared? / In the middle of the eighth month, the cool of the night; / A single round moon shines on the waters of West Lake.
