如淨和尚語錄 2.20

2.20

新起妙嚴慶懺陞座。推倒多年老鼠窠。掃空平地笑呵呵。從空架起生頭角。蓋覆驢牛不厭多。今朝成就大緣。千古發揮大事。且道。如何斫額任他門外客。到家還我箇中人。

Taking the seat for the newly built Miaoyan hall's celebratory repentance: / "Pushing over the old rat's nest of many years, / Sweeping clean the level ground, laughing ha-ha! / Framing it out of emptiness, horns sprout; / Covering donkeys and cattle, one never tires of how many. / Today a great causal condition is accomplished; / For a thousand ages the great matter is displayed. / But tell me, how is it? / Brow-shading guests outside the gate may do as they please; / Returning home, restore to me the person within!"
