景德傳燈錄 29.118

29.118

玄沙遊徑別。時人切須知。三冬陽氣盛。六月降霜時。有語非關舌。無言切要辭。會我最後句出世少人知。

Xuansha's roaming path is distinct; / People of the time must urgently know it: / In the depth of the three winter months, the yang force flourishes; / In the sixth month, the time when frost descends. / There are words that have nothing to do with the tongue; / Wordlessness is the truly essential speech. / If you understand my final phrase, / Few in this world will know it.
