达磨西来说道,十年面壁安丹。
争知水火不交煎。
因果谩成罗汉。
仰箭射空力尽,依然坠地何言。
虚空拶破强参禅。
肯把金丹烧炼。
达磨西来说道,十年面壁安丹。
争知水火不交煎。
因果谩成罗汉。
仰箭射空力尽,依然坠地何言。
虚空拶破强参禅。
肯把金丹烧炼。
达摩西来传道,面壁十年以安定金丹。
怎知水火若不交济便会互相煎熬?
徒然成就了罗汉果位,亦是因果使然。
仰天射箭,力尽箭落,又能说什么呢?
强行参禅,欲将虚空拶破。
岂肯将金丹置于火中烧炼?
When Bodhidharma westwards came to preach the lore,
For ten years facing wall, he set his elixir's core.
Who knew that water, fire, untempered, would fiercely burn?
Thus cause and effect idly made a Luohan in turn.
Shooting an arrow skyward till his strength was spent,
It falls to earth again—what words can represent?
To force and break the void, in stubborn meditation bent,
Would he consent to burn the golden pill, thus sent?
借达摩典故,批判执着形式、强求参禅。
指出强求的博弈终将落空,真正的突破在于顺应周期。
借达摩面壁参禅典故,讽刺强求金丹、执着因果的虚妄修行。
