從獅子嶺再拜

經蘇北入河南省。過鳳陽。毫州。昊陵嵩山。少林寺。至洛陽白馬寺各地。是年四十四歲。晦明風雨無間。如是行拜。一心稱念南無大智文殊師利菩薩名號。苦樂飢飽不動於衷。置之度外矣。

 

宣化偈曰:
達磨面壁熊耳山。竺法摩騰白馬傳。
如今仍有神光否。為法斷臂紅雪潮。

Starting to bow again on Shih Tzu Peak

The Master then passed through Su Pei and entered Hunan Province, passing through Feng Yang, Hao Chou, Hao Ling (High Mound), Sung Shan (Eminent Peak), and Shao Lin Monastery among other places, before reaching White Horse Monastery in Lo Yang. He was now forty-four years old. The Master continued to walk and bow in the same manner as always, both night and day, through wind and rain. Single-mindedly, he recited the name of the greatly wise Manjushri Bodhisattva. By neither suffering nor bliss, starvation nor repletion was he moved within, because he had removed himself from these influences.

The verse says:
Bodhidharma faced the wall in Bear's Ear Mountain Cave.
Kashyapa-Matanga and Gobharana founded White Horse Monastery.
Is there not now yet another Bhikshu Shen Kuang
Who severs his arm in search of the Dharma, turning the snow to red?
