如淨和尚語錄 1.27

1.27

Ascending the hall to thank West Hall Yuan: / Plum blossoms in the clear dawn are fragrant, / In full bloom, borrowing function; / Willow threads in early spring are lush, / In the warming sun, shifting positions. / Not going over to that side, / Coming from right here. / Chattering and babbling: host and guest blend marvelously; / Limping and toddling: bias and right completely encompass. / It directly causes the mud man to dance his sleeves, / And the stone woman to play the sheng. / Naturally transmitting the untainted family style—yet this is still an affair of the sons and grandsons. / Tell me, what about the single phrase before Bhīṣmagarjitasvararāja? / A thousand beams do not illuminate the hall of the King of Emptiness; / At midnight, the black rooster flies carrying snow.
