32.25

泰州光孝寺致遠禪師。撫州許氏子。上堂舉女子出定話乃曰。從來打鼓弄琵琶。須是相逢兩會家。佩玉鳴鸞歌舞罷。門前依舊夕陽斜。

Chan Master Zhiyuan of Guangxiao Temple in Taizhou was a son of the Xu family in Fuzhou. Ascending the hall, he brought up the story of the woman coming out of samādhi, and then said:

“From of old, beating the drum and playing the pipa
Requires two masters meeting together.
Pendants of jade and crying phoenixes—the singing and dancing end;
In front of the gate, as before, the evening sun slants.”
