萬松老人評唱天童覺和尚頌古從容庵錄 6.36

Language
Classical Chinese

6.36

滄海瀝乾(依前白浪滔天)太虛充滿(不見毫釐絲忽)衲僧鼻孔長(千里寒梅度暗香)
古佛舌頭短(一字真言道不滿)珠絲度九曲(枉勞心力)
玉機纔一轉(文彩縱橫意自殊)直下相逢誰識渠(是甚麼面孔)
始信。斯人不合伴(貶入孤獨地獄)

The vast sea drained dry, (As before, white waves swell to heaven.) / Great space filled to the brim. (Not a millimeter or silk thread is seen.) / The monk's nostrils are long; (Cold plum blossoms from a thousand miles away convey a faint fragrance.) / The ancient Buddha's tongue is short. (A one-word true mantra cannot be fully spoken.) / A thread through the nine-curved pearl, (Wasted effort of mind and strength.) / The jade loom just turns once. (The patterned brocade crisscrosses; its meaning is uniquely extraordinary.) / Meeting straight on, who recognizes him? (What kind of face is this?) / One first believes: this person does not join company. (Banish him into the lonely hell.)
