萬松老人評唱天童覺和尚頌古從容庵錄 4.20

4.20

Enduring frost and snow (in poverty, perfecting oneself alone);
Walking flat on clouds and mist (in success, benefiting all under heaven).
Liuxia Hui leaves his home state (the bitter gourd is bitter right to the root);
Sima Xiangru crosses the bridge (the sweet melon is sweet right to the stem).
The strategies of Xiao and Cao could establish the Han (sunflowers turning to the sun);
The minds and bodies of Chaofu and Xu You wished to shun Yao (willow catkins drifting with the wind).
'Favor and disgrace seem alarming'—having deep self-confidence (awakening requires true awakening, practice requires genuine practice);
With true feeling, one blends one's traces among fishermen and woodcutters (unable to avoid the sacred turtle dragging its tail).
