萬松老人評唱天童覺和尚頌古從容庵錄 2.80

2.80

The dynamic of the iron ox (has it roared yet?); / It seals it fast, it shatters the seal (the hook and awl are in his hands). / Walking, emerging through the crown of Vairocana's head (it falls short of what is above); / Coming back to sit upon the transformation buddha's tongue (it has a surplus compared to what is below). / Fengxue holds the scales (worldly feelings regard cold and warmth); / Lubi falls into defeat (men's faces follow high and low). / Beneath the staff, under the shout (how can an explanation be allowed?), / Lightning flash and flint-spark (not waiting for a pause). / Distinctly clear, like a pearl in a basin (spinning on its own without being nudged), / Raising your eyebrows, you have already missed it (hitting right along with the sound).
