萬松老人評唱天童覺和尚頌古從容庵錄 5.92

5.92

"Hiding a boat in a night ravine; (A patchrobed monk is hard to deceive.) / Putting down oars in a clear source. (Willing to fall into dead water?) / Dragons and fish do not yet know water as life; (Those in the game are confused.) / Snapping a chopstick does no harm to stir it a bit. (Beating the grass startles the snake.) / Master Xuansha, Elder Xiaotang: (Accepting the indictment at once.) / Matching box and lid, arrow points meeting; (Easy to open the mouth of beginning and end.) / A sounding pole, shadowing grass. (Hard to preserve the heart of winter cold.) / Submerged and withdrawn: an old tortoise nesting on a lotus; (In the hiding place, no tracks.) / Playing and sporting: splendidly scaled [fish] disporting in weeds." (In the trackless place, do not hide the body.)
