佛果圜悟禪師碧巖錄 5.47

5.47

Rice in the bowl, water in the bucket— (Exposed! Why scatter sand and throw dirt? You must rinse your mouth for three years before you can speak.) / Even a loquacious master finds it hard to open his mouth. (Pulling back the tongue. Those who know the Dharma are terrified. Why bring it up like this?) / The Northern Dipper and Southern Stars do not differ in position; (Why call east west? Sitting and standing with solemn dignity. A tall one is a tall Dharma body; a short one is a short Dharma body.) / White waves surging to heaven rise from the level ground. (Beneath the feet it is dozens of fathoms deep. Guest and host exchange places. Suddenly it is atop your head—what will you do then? Striking!) / Hesitating or not? (Heavens, heavens! Bah!) / Ceasing or not? (What are you talking about? Adding further sorrow and bitter grief!) / Each and every one is a trousers-less elder's son. (Quite sloppy. Bystanders sneer.)
