萬松老人評唱天童覺和尚頌古從容庵錄 5.62

Language
Classical Chinese

5.62

佛祖髑髏穿一串(一任伊𨁝跳)宮漏沈沈密傳箭(不許外人知)
人天機要發千鈞(以輕勞重)雲陣輝輝急飛電(眨眼蹉過)
箇中人看轉變(計在臨時)遇賤則貴貴則賤(心知本自同所以無欣怨)
得珠罔象兮至道綿綿(一念不生全體現)游刃亡牛兮赤心片片(泪出痛腸)

The skulls of buddhas and patriarchs are strung on a single cord; (Allowing him full freedom to leap and bound.) / In the deep quiet of the palace water-clock, the arrow is secretly passed. (Not permitting outsiders to know.)
The crucial dynamic of humans and devas releases a thousand jun; (Taking the light to labor the heavy.) / The cloud ranks shine brightly as swift lightning flashes. (Missed in the blink of an eye.)
The person within observes the turn and transformation; (The plan rests in the moment.) / Meeting the base, it is noble; meeting the noble, it is base. (Knowing in the mind that they are fundamentally identical, there is no joy or resentment.)
Obtaining the pearl, Xiangwang—ah, the Supreme Way is continuous! (Not a single thought arising, the complete body manifests.) / Wheeling the blade, the ox forgotten—ah, pieces of a devoted heart! (Tears flow from an aching heart.)
