### [2.44](https://indike.org/pramana/in.bauddha.taisho.2004.2.44)

淡中有味（誰教爾添鹽著醋）妙超情謂（別日爾商量）綿綿若存兮象先（已落第二）  
兀兀如愚兮道貴（無人著價）玉雕文以喪淳（和尚手高）  
珠在淵而自媚（少賣弄）十分爽氣兮清磨暑秋（體露金風）  
一片閑雲兮遠分天水（好事多魔）

> Within the bland there is flavor— / (Who told you to add salt and vinegar?)  
> Wondrously transcending sentiment and assertion. / (We'll discuss it on another day.)  
> Continuous, as if remaining, prior to forms; / (Already fallen into the secondary.)  
> Steadfast as though foolish, the Way is noble. / (No one sets a price on it.)  
> Jade carved with patterns loses its genuineness; / (The Venerable's hand is skilled.)  
> The pearl in the abyss is naturally charming. / (A bit too showy.)  
> Ample crisp coolness freshly polishes summer into autumn; / (The body exposed in the golden wind.)  
> A single wisp of idle cloud parts sky and water far apart. / (Good things encounter many demons.)
