如淨和尚語錄 2.22

- **Language:** Classical Chinese

### [2.22](https://indike.org/pramana/in.bauddha.taisho.2002a.2.22)

請監收上堂。竇八布衫穿。大家出隻手。橫須彌為概。量大海為斗。所以生殺在前。收放在後。歸功塞破虛空口。還知麼。天童不敢相辜。甘作啼雞吠狗。

> Requesting the overseer of stores, he ascended the hall:  
> "Dou the Eighth's cloth shirt is worn through;  
> everyone lend a hand.  
> Lay Mount Sumeru across as the level-measure;  
> measure the great ocean as the peck.  
> Therefore, killing and giving life are at the fore;  
> withdrawing and releasing come behind.  
> Credit goes to choking shut the mouth of empty space.  
> Do you still understand?  
> Tiantong would not dare betray you;  
> he gladly serves as the crowing cock and the barking dog."
