21.35

台州真如戒香禪師。興化林氏子。上堂。孟冬改旦曉天寒。葉落歸根露遠山。不是見聞生滅法。當頭莫作見聞看。

Chan Master Zhenru Jiexiang of Taizhou was a son of the Lin family of Xinghua. He ascended the hall: 'The first day of early winter brings a chilly dawn sky; / Leaves fall returning to the root, exposing the distant mountains. / This is not a dharma of arising and ceasing through seeing and hearing; / Right before you, do not take it as seeing and hearing.'
