### 柏樹子

> Cypress Tree

八十猶行老趙州，無端庭柏向僧酬，謾把硃砂認赤土，人間無水不東流。

> Though eighty years, old Master Zhaozhou still walked his path, Why did he point to the courtyard cypress in reply to a monk's query? Don't mistake cinnabar for common red earth— In this world, all waters flow eastward, never turning back.
