Shiyu Chan Master's Dharma Talks (石雨禪師法檀)


示藻雪

"Demonstrating Algae and Snow"

潔如藻,白如雪,究竟不知是何物?江南聞說有雲門,但有纖疑必可決。我無玄,亦無奧,相逢只唱漁家傲。更問如何性與心?斷拂一枝當面挫。也作詩、也作偈,協韻何曾有文字?興到隨腔信口歌,記取是名雪書記。

Pure as pondweed, white as snow—what exactly is this thing, in the end? In the south, they speak of Yunmen; any lingering doubt can be resolved there. I have no mystery, no profundity—when we meet, I simply sing the fisherman’s pride. Ask further about nature and mind? I snap a branch and strike it down before your face. I write verse, I write gāthās—yet where are the words when rhyme aligns? When inspiration strikes, I sing freely with the tune; remember this name: “Snow Scribe.”
