# 緇門警訓 8.79

緇門警訓 8.79

- **Language:** Classical Chinese

### [8.79](https://indike.org/pramana/in.bauddha.taisho.2023.8.79)

隨家豐儉事難同。禪悅偏宜淡薄中。下口若知無味味。  
舉頭方見不空空。

> Following each household's wealth or frugality, circumstances are hard to make alike;  
> The joy of Chan is especially suited to plain simplicity.  
> When lowering the mouth, if one knows the flavor of flavorlessness,  
> Only when raising the head will one see the non-empty emptiness.  
> — English (machine translation) (machine translation)
