35.11

明州天童派禪師。字無際。題郁山主像偈云。策蹇溪橋蹉跌時。誤將豌豆作真珠。兒曹不解藏家醜。笑倒楊岐老古錐。

Chan Master Pai of Tiantong in Mingzhou was styled Wuji. He inscribed a verse on the portrait of Abbot Yu of Mount Lushan:
'When his lame donkey stumbled at the mountain creek bridge,
He mistook a pea for a genuine pearl.
The foolish children do not understand how to hide family shame,
Laughing until old Yangqi falls over.'
