法苑珠林 31.12

31.12

潛遁巧變　善弄冥馳　偉哉仁智
官捕推移　羊肥無脂　象護天隨
福應所感　冥運投機　靜也冲默
動也神輝　綿綿違御　亹亹長菲
宗反元象　光潛影離　隱顯叵測
真偽難知

Concealing and escaping through skillful transformations, / adept at playing and galloping in the dark, / how magnificent are benevolence and wisdom! / The official arrests shifted and failed. / A sheep grew fat without tallow; / Elephant-Protector had heaven's accompaniment. / Moving through the dark, they seized their chances, / in resonance with the responses of their blessings. / In stillness, profound and quiet; / in motion, of spiritual brilliance. / Ceaselessly defying containment, / tirelessly growing in renown. / Their lineage returns to the primal origin; / their light is submerged, their shadows gone. / Their hiding and revealing cannot be fathomed; / the genuine and the counterfeit are hard to discern.
