竺乾窃得屠龙伎,袖隠神锋入南海。
暨见真龙元不识,九年面壁好羞惭。
竺乾窃得屠龙伎,袖隠神锋入南海。
暨见真龙元不识,九年面壁好羞惭。
从印度学得了屠龙的本领,
袖中藏着神异的锋芒,渡海来到中国。
等到见了真龙(指禅宗真谛或帝王),却全然不识,
面壁九年,真是令人羞愧汗颜。
From India, he stole the art to slay the dragon,
Hiding the divine blade in his sleeve, he entered the Southern Sea.
But when he saw the true dragon, he failed to recognize it at all,
Nine years facing the wall—what a shameful memory.
祖师携绝技东渡,是文化传播与认同构建的关键事件。
赞颂达摩祖师身怀绝技、渡海东来传法的神异与决心。
本诗为七言绝句,押平声韵。
