佛果圜悟禪師碧巖錄 2.4

2.4

Chilly and stern, the solitary wind does not boast of itself; (He still does not know it exists. He too is a Luohan of Yunju.) / Residing peacefully across the realm, he determines dragons and snakes. (He also needs to distinguish black from white; he also needs to make black and white clear.) / The Son of Heaven of Dazhong once lightly touched it, (Why speak of the Son of Heaven of Dazhong? No matter how great, he still had to rise from the earth. Even higher, what can be done about heaven?) / And three times in person met with the baring of claws and fangs. (What is the dead toad using its big mouth for? Not yet extraordinary; still a petty contrivance. If the great dynamic function appears before us, the worlds of the ten directions and even the mountains, rivers, and great earth all beg for their lives from Huangbo.)
