佛果圜悟禪師碧巖錄 9.13

9.13

Clouds on the southern mountain; (Heaven and earth cannot see. A knife cannot cut in.) / Rain on the northern mountain; (Not a drop shed. Half south of the river, half north of the river.)
The four-seven and two-three look each other in the face. (Sought in many places without being found. Dragging in bystanders. The exposed pillar hangs a lantern.)
In the land of Silla, he once entered the hall; (Surging in the east and sinking in the west. Going east without seeing the profit of going west. From where was this news obtained?)
In the land of the Great Tang, the drum has not yet sounded. (One moment late. Give me back the topic! Going first does not arrive; coming last goes too far.)
Joy within suffering; (Who can be made to know?) / Suffering within joy. (A double gong'an. Who is made to cite it? Suffering is just suffering, joy is just joy. Where are there two ends and three faces?)
Who says gold is like dirt and clay? (Those with eyes can discern. Try wiping it and seeing. Ah-la-la! What a pity! Tell me, is it the ancient Buddha, or is it the exposed pillar?)
