24.9

鎮江府甘露達珠禪師。福州人。上堂。聖賢不分古今惟一。可惟火就燥水就濕。鑿井而飲耕田而食。大眾。東村王老去不歸。紛紛黃葉空狼籍。

Chan Master Ganlu Dazhu of Zhenjiang Prefecture was a native of Fuzhou. He ascended the hall: "The noble and the common are not divided; past and present are only one. It is simply that fire seeks dryness and water seeks dampness; one digs a well and drinks, tills the field and eats. Great assembly! Old Wang of the eastern village has gone and not returned; in chaotic profusion, yellow leaves scatter in vain."
