萬松老人評唱天童覺和尚頌古從容庵錄 6.87

6.87

示眾云。達磨朝梁武。本為傳心。鹽官識大中。不妨具眼。天下太平國王長壽。不犯天威。日月停景。四時和適有光風化。人王法王相見。合談何事。

The realm is at peace, the king enjoys longevity, not offending the heavenly majesty; the sun and moon halt their rays, the four seasons are harmonious and mild, with bright winds and transformative influence. When the King of Men and the King of Dharma meet, what should they discuss?
