Description:
塵勞迥脫事非常
唐 黃檗希運禪師（？～850）
塵勞迥脫事非常，緊把繩頭做一場。
不經一番寒徹骨，怎得梅花撲鼻香。
Separation from Worldly Passions
Huangbo Xiyun ( ? - 850, Tang Dynasty)
English translation: Sasha Lyapina
Separation from worldly passions is an extraordinary task,
Grab the head of rope and tie it with all your might;
If not for the bone-biting winter cold,
How can the plum blossom and its fragrance assail the nostrils?
