29.12

台州寶藏本禪師上堂。清明已過十餘日。花雨闌珊方寸深。春色惱人眠不得。黃鸝飛過綠楊陰。遂大笑下座。

Chan Master Ben of Baozang in Taizhou ascended the hall: "Qingming has passed by more than ten days; / The fading rain of flowers is square-inch deep. / The spring colors trouble one, keeping one from sleep; / An oriole flies past the green willow shade." He then laughed loudly and stepped down from the seat.
