Heaven and Earth Shatters
Zhang Jiucheng (1092 - 1159, Song Dynasty)
English translation: Miao Guang
The croak of a frog in the Spring moonlight
Shatters heaven and earth all into one.
By whom is such a moment understood?
At the peak is Master Xuansha with his painful foot.
── from Jiatai Pudeng Lu (Record of the Jiatai Era’s Transmission of the Lamp)
