悟道詩
唐 香嚴智閑禪師(?~898)
一擊忘所知,更不假修持;
從容揚古道,不墮悄然機;
處處無蹤跡,聲色外威儀;
諸方達道者,咸言上上機。
──《景德傳燈錄》卷十一
Verse on Enlightenment
Xiangyan Zhixian ( ? - 898, Tang Dynasty)
English translation: John Balcom
One strike and I forgot all I knew—
No more will I rely on cultivation.
I have touched the Buddha’s teaching
And will not fall into skillful explanations.
Nowhere is there found a trace,
Outside one’s speech and comportment.
Those who have attained the Way from every direction
Each say they have the highest explanation.
── from Jingde Chuandeng Lu (Records of the Transmission of the Lamp)
