东坡笑说吃龙肉,舌底那知已咽津。
能省咽津真有味,会言龙肉不为珍。
东坡笑说吃龙肉,舌底那知已咽津。
能省咽津真有味,会言龙肉不为珍。
东坡笑着说吃了龙肉,
舌头底下哪里知道已经咽下了口水。
能够省悟咽口水才真有滋味,
便会说龙肉也算不得珍贵了。
Dongpo laughed and spoke of eating dragon's meat,
Beneath his tongue, how could he know he'd swallowed his own spittle?
To realize the true flavor lies in swallowing spittle,
Is to say dragon's meat is no longer a treasure.
以饮食之喻完成对玄妙真理的认知转换。
以东坡食龙肉的戏言,喻指禅悟的玄妙不可言说,强调真味在自心。
本诗为七言绝句,押平声韵。
