示無我禪人
Teaching Selflessness to the Practitioner
法門趨向沒殊途,腳下騰騰勿少迂,遲速同歸非巧拙,直教萬里一條鐵。籌躕顧盻路頭岐,岐路忘羊咎阿誰?祝指玄沙不度嶺,髑髏磕破剎那頃。毋徒杓卜聽虛聲,我說寧如卿自行?撞到深山師子窟,成群作隊爪牙發。忽然哮吼勢稱尊,特地驚聞異類奔,若是丈夫皮有血,何妨景仰繼前哲?舊來題目亦多般,覷捕真人赤肉團,今日恁麼相委悉,他時應笑太無端。
The path of Dharma holds no separate ways; beneath your feet, keep moving, never pause. Fast or slow, the goal is not of skill— a single iron rod spans ten thousand miles.
Hesitate, and forks appear along the road— when lost, who can you blame but yourself? Don't point at Xuan Sha, who wouldn't cross the ridge; a skull can crack and shatter in an instant.
Don't merely read omens or hear hollow words— I say, how about you walk the path yourself? When you reach the deep mountain lion's den, a pack of beasts will bare their fangs.
Then suddenly a mighty roar commands respect— startled, all wild creatures scatter. If you're a man with blood still in your veins, why not revere and follow those who came before?
Old topics have been framed in many ways— to glimpse the Real within this fleshly lump. Now that I've shared this with you plainly, you'll laugh one day at all these pointless words.
