They lamented, unable to fulfill the master's aspirations, leaving the good name to their predecessors and the credit to their successors. Is this not the will of heaven? Is this not the will of heaven? In the spring of Jichou year (1649), the master knew that his worldly ties were coming to an end. He left his Sanghati (robe) and instructed his disciple Huishan to succeed him as abbot, and then passed away peacefully. At that time, Huigong returned from Nanyue (place name), and together with the monks, they placed the master's stupa on the front slope of Weishan, entrusting me to write an inscription for him. No one knows the master better than I do, how can I refuse? The inscription says: Heaven endowed him with extraordinary talent, and auspicious dreams appeared in Hedong (place name), giving birth to a dragon among men. His heart is like an ancient Buddha, his appearance like a tall pine, waving his whisk and sitting upright, neither mysterious nor empty. He is the master of a hundred generations after Lingyou.

The mountain is steep and precipitous, shrouded in clouds, with a flat and fertile land at the summit, spanning about one hundred and forty li in circumference. Within it are countless unique peaks and distant ridges, vast lakes and cascading springs, strange rocks and tall trees, stone chambers and secluded thickets, all of extraordinary beauty. It is said that fifteen hundred Kalyāṇa-mitras (those skilled in Dharma, guiding others towards goodness) reside here. Baizhang Huaihai Zen Master believed that the physical body is difficult to preserve for long, so he kicked open the mountain gate with a clean bottle. When Zen Master You entered Dayu Mountain, it was approximately during the Yuanhe era (806-820) of the Tang Dynasty. Over eight hundred years have passed, and generations of eminent monks have emerged, expounding on religion, as recorded in the Transmission of the Lamp. During the reign of Emperor Shenzong of the Ming Dynasty (1572-1620), the Xiang River lineage declined, and the incense fires were extinguished for nearly a decade. Later, a monk arrived riding a white ox, and the ancient apricot tree blossomed again, reviving the scene. Soon after, Elder Wufeng and Zen Master Yangzhuo Ming followed. Elder Wufeng was the most outstanding disciple of Zen Master Miyun Wu of Tiantong. In less than two years, Elder Wufeng passed away, building temples in Jianye, returning to Mount Wutai, for Zen Master Jisheng. Vice Minister Yu (name unknown) retained him to preach the Dharma in Gītā. Zen Master Yang cultivated the land for more than ten years, but the land remained barren, and the reclamation was insufficient. The management of ten thousand ditches was not completed, and he passed away in the year of Jichou. His successor was my Zen Master Huishan. Zen Master Huishan was then practicing in Hengyue, and Zen Master Yang left a letter, entrusting him to return to Dayu Mountain to serve as abbot. He returned to the mountain for ten years, although he also opened the furnace to preach and observed the summer retreat, he did not strike the hammer to gather the assembly, always maintaining a humble and courteous demeanor, and did not change his ambition to live in seclusion in the mountains, which is truly rare in modern times. In the winter of the year Dingyou, the old Zen Master Shanweng of Tiantong Mountain wrote a letter to encourage him, saying that the purpose of the Wufeng lineage was of great importance, and then Zen Master Huishan began to publicly promote the Dharma, and monks and laypeople from far and near admired his noble character. Zen Master Huishan was pure in nature, broad-minded, had clear right vision, and was quick-witted. The monks who came to study were endless, reaching 30,000 in winter. It is truly a great Dharma banner in our Chu region! He and Master Fengzhi and Master Gumei sang in harmony with each other, and jointly encouraged the younger generation. Everyone said that he was a descendant who glorified his ancestors, and did not know where he started. In the winter of the year Jihai, I and Yi Zi Xiangbo (person's name) visited Dayu Mountain again, climbed to the top of the mountain, almost spending the whole day, saw the overlapping mountains, the waterfall pouring down like tiles, clear like Li Han's red pearl, and faintly like a turtle's back green hair. Looking at the peaks from a distance, they are stacked like hibiscus petals, and the water flows through the yellow wood, tasting as sweet as lotus. Wearing Zen clothes, immersed in the green, forgetting the summer and winter. The stones offered are diligently subjected to wind and rain. Ten thousand acres of land have been reclaimed, lamenting the hard work of the Arhats wearing stars and moons. The thousand-year-old apricot tree reminds people of Zen Master You's own planting. The huts surrounding the mountain are all the relics of the former Jinglan temples. The crops all over the fields remind people of the harvest of acorns in those years. How precious is the value of pine wind!" ] } ``` -------------------------------------------------------------------------------- 敌六月披裘矶立垂丝谁知高山有鲤英陈厚褥毋烦帝释铺来沙布重金若从长者施得巍巍乎如若登天然荡荡乎王道平平霖雨先得乎人寰瑞雪偏厚于丘壑鱼磬鼓钟迭送凌空兰若叶麻鸡犬间见野老农家地高多得日草木欣欣溪厚自藏冰泉水泠泠香象如伏静且寿仁者见之之谓仁神虬若豢乐在水知者见之之谓知苍苍松色东岭何如盈盈春水南河可楫铜塔来燕京并诸龙幡凤绣石塔飞峨眉不畏鸟道蚕丛通津者木也许透长安运水者石也果尔神通阡陌井井遭旱魃以无虞窣堵团团对孤轮而更肃青龙岩下下临无地青羊山上上登无天盘陀石尚在柿子再飞来香严何处去钟石为谁悬佛日化日交辉白云法云并起频来天子诏时送牧童歌狮弦日上弹天上华飘四坠鲸音夜半吼人间梦断三更机忘物自忘观鸥何必海性驯渠为驯牧牛正在沩薰风时节满池荷谁谓莲郊十万亿月明人静秋风里竟忘此地古潭西下方城郭郑州出曹门上界钟声听取有分仿佛云端依稀天表神怡乎一壶目穷乎千岛山川之胜也暗机建旨沩仰称宗法王之窟狮子之薮小释迦拔眼中之屑李军容识刺里之泥遥空礼拜去在南阳匡徒助道来自西江临济小厮儿曾为传言送语铁棒周金刚也须过东过西刘铁磨谓之老牸牛邓隐峰莫谓无语云岩千传正传洞山五宗一宗不惜草鞋钱到者里按过有病底有不病底道吾宗智落声色不落声色则是疏山米里有虫石霜诸为米头二年同一春夹山会充典座灵山相逢寒拾古佛见称雪峰说法四十余年居徒常多千众法系派衍无穷颖脱莫悉其数厥后幢帜千年百年英灵如麻如粟盖以出家将相有所不能参禅佛祖有所不屑西方大圣人尼父逊 ```json { "translations": [ "现代汉语译本", "六月里身披裘衣，像矶石一样兀立，垂着钓丝，有谁知道这高山里竟然有鲤鱼？无需陈设厚厚的褥垫，也不用帝释天来铺设沙布。如果能从长者那里得到重金施舍，那真是巍峨高大啊，就像登上天然的高台一样。王道是多么的平坦宽广啊！霖雨总是先降临人间，瑞雪也总是特别眷顾山丘沟壑。鱼磬、鼓钟交替传递，在凌空的兰若（寺庙）中回响，麻叶鸡犬之间，偶尔能见到乡下的老农人家。地势高的地方，总是能得到更多的阳光，草木也因此欣欣向荣；深厚的溪流里，自然蕴藏着冰泉，泉水泠泠作响。大象好像伏在那里一样，安静而长寿，仁者见了，就说是仁。神龙好像被豢养着一样，快乐地生活在水里，智者见了，就说是智。苍翠的松树，东边的山岭怎么样呢？盈盈的春水，南边的河流可以渡船吗？铜塔从燕京（北京）而来，还有各种龙幡凤绣；石塔从峨眉山飞来，不畏惧鸟道。开凿道路，疏通水运的人，木头或许可以通往长安（陕西省会），石头也可以用来运水。果然是神通广大啊！田野阡陌纵横，水井整齐排列，即使遇到旱魃（旱神）也不用担心。佛塔圆圆的，与孤零零的塔轮相对，显得更加肃穆。青龙岩下，下面没有可以下脚的地方；青羊山上，上面没有可以攀登的天空。盘陀石还在那里，柿子还会再次飞来。香严（唐代僧人）去了哪里呢？钟石又是为谁悬挂呢？佛日和化日交相辉映，白云和法云一同升起。天子的诏书频繁到来，时常传来牧童的歌声。狮子弦每天都在弹奏，天上的花朵纷纷飘落；鲸鱼的声音在半夜吼叫，人间的梦境在三更时分被打断。忘记了机巧，自然也就忘记了外物，观赏海鸥又何必一定要有海的本性呢？驯服它，是为了更好地驯养和放牧牛。正值熏风时节，满池塘都是荷花。谁说莲花郊外有十万亿呢？月明人静的秋风里，竟然忘记了这里是古老的潭西。下方是城郭，郑州（河南省会）从曹门出来。上界的钟声，听取的人自有缘分，仿佛在云端，依稀可见天表的景象。神情愉悦，一壶酒就可以满足；目光远大，千岛山川都可以尽收眼底。这是山川的胜景啊！暗中建立宗旨，沩仰宗因此而闻名。这里是法王的窟穴，狮子的巢穴，是小释迦（指沩山灵佑）拔掉眼中之屑的地方，是李军容识别刺里之泥的地方。遥空礼拜，去往南阳，匡扶徒弟，助益道业，从西江（江西省）而来的是临济宗的小厮儿，曾经为他传言送语。铁棒周金刚也必须经过东边和西边。刘铁磨被称作老牸牛。邓隐峰不要说他没有说话，云岩（昙晟）千百年来都在传授正法。洞山（良价）的五宗归为一宗，不惜草鞋钱，来到这里的人，有病的就按有病的治，没病的就按没病的治。道吾宗智，落在声色上，还是没有落在声色上？那就是疏山（匡仁）米里有虫。石霜（庆诸）等人作为米头，二年都是同一个春天。夹山（善会）充当典座，灵山（会上）相逢寒拾（寒山和拾得）。古佛被称作雪峰（义存），说法四十年，门徒常常多达千人，法系派别繁衍无穷，颖脱难以全部列举。此后，幢幡旗帜经历了千年百年，英灵如麻如粟。大概是因为出家的将相有所不能，参禅的佛祖有所不屑，西方的大圣人，尼父（孔子）也谦逊退让。", "English version", "In the sixth month, wearing a fur coat, standing like a rock, dangling a fishing line, who knows that there are carp in this high mountain?
