夏日谒智远禅师
Summer day, paying respects to my Chan master
吾师当几祖 说法云无空 禅心三界外 宴坐天地中 |
My master has many lineages, Expounds the law as a cloud lacking nothing. Chan heart beyond the three worlds Sits feasting amid Heaven and Earth. |
院静鬼神去 身与草木同 因知护王国 满钵盛毒龙 |
Peaceful temple, gods and ghosts depart. Body and all things as one. Because he knows to protect our kingdom, He fills his begging bowl with dragon's poison. |
抖擞尘埃衣 谒师见真宗 何必千万劫 瞬息去樊笼 |
Arousing myself from my dusty tatters, I visit the master to see the true model. Why wait for a million kalpas? In a twinkling, depart from your confinement. |
盛夏火为日 一堂十月风 不得为弟子 名姓挂儒宫 |
From midsummer's fiery sun until the Autumn winds arrive, we share one hall. I may not be his disciple, but his Exemplary nature hangs in my ancestral hall. |
-- 孟郊
废话
One must keep in mind that for the spiritually-minded, there is no religion. There is only the living Way. Meng Jiao spent his life upon the Way.
