萬松老人評唱天童覺和尚頌古從容庵錄 2.8

- **Language:** Classical Chinese

### [2.8](https://indike.org/pramana/in.bauddha.taisho.2004.2.8)

秤頭蠅坐便欹傾（謾他一星不過）萬世權衡照不平（斗滿秤錘住）  
斤兩錙銖見端的（莫錯認）終歸輸我定盤星（領取鉤頭意）

> "A fly perching on the tip of the steelyard beam tilts it at once; (One cannot cheat it by even a single dot.)  
> Through ten thousand generations, the balance reflects unevenness. (The peck is full, the steelyard weight rests.)  
> Pounds, ounces, drachms, and grains are clearly seen; (Do not misrecognise them.)  
> In the end, all concede to my zero mark." (Catch the intention at the tip of the hook.)
