萬松老人評唱天童覺和尚頌古從容庵錄 5.8

- **Language:** Classical Chinese

### [5.8](https://indike.org/pramana/in.bauddha.taisho.2004.5.8)

天蓋地載（通上徹下）成團作塊（刀斧斫不開）周法界而無邊（十方無壁落）  
析隣虛而無內（佛眼覷不見）及盡玄微（好事不如無）  
誰分向背（無廻避處）佛祖來償口業債（言多傷行）問取南泉王老師（忌却杉山）  
人人只喫一莖菜（更無餘事可營為）

> Heaven covers and earth supports (Penetrating above and piercing below);  
> Lumped together, forged into a mass (Knives and axes cannot chop it open).  
> Pervading the dharmadhātu without boundary (In the ten directions there are no walls);  
> Dividing a neighbor to voidness without interior (The Buddha's eye cannot spy it).  
> Reaching the utmost of the mysterious and subtle (A good thing is not as good as nothing);  
> Who distinguishes facing towards or turning away? (No place to evade it).  
> Buddhas and patriarchs come to repay the debt of verbal karma (Too many words injure conduct);  
> Ask Old Teacher Wang of Nanquan (Avoiding Shanshan);  
> Everyone just eats a single stalk of vegetable (There are no other affairs to manage).
