東京相國慧林院若冲覺海禪師。江寧府鍾氏子。上堂。碧落靜無雲。秋空明有月。長江瑩如練。清風來不歇。林下道人幽。相看情共悅。諸仁者適來道箇清風明月。猶是建化門中事。作麼生是道人分上事。良久曰。間來石上觀流水。欲洗禪衣未有塵。上堂。無邊義海咸歸顧盻之中。萬象形容盡入照臨之內。爾諸人築著磕著。因甚麼却不知。良久曰。莫怪山僧太多事。光陰如箭急相催。珍重。

> Chan Master Ruochong Juehai of the Huilin Cloister at Xiangguo \[Monastery\] in the Eastern Capital was a native of Jiangning Prefecture, born to the Zhong family. Ascending the hall, he said: "The blue firmament is still without clouds, / The autumn sky is bright with the moon. / The Long River is lustrous as silk, / The clear breeze blows without pause. / Quiet is the person of the Way under the trees, / Looking at each other, their feelings share delight. / Virtuous ones, what was just spoken of—the clear breeze and bright moon—is still a matter within the gate of constructive transformation. What is the business of a person of the Way?" After a long pause, he said, "At leisure, coming upon the rock to watch the flowing water; / Wishing to wash the Chan robe, yet there is no dust." Ascending the hall, he said: "The boundless ocean of meaning entirely returns to a single glance; the myriad appearances and forms all enter into illumination. You people bump into it and stumble upon it—why then do you not know it?" After a long pause, he said, "Do not blame this mountain monk for being meddlesome: time flies like an arrow, swiftly urging us on. Take care!"
