2008 Zen-7 Initiation Verse 禪七起七法語

CHUNG TAI ZEN CENTER OF SUNNYVALE
2008 WINTER ZEN-SEVEN RETREAT

Initiation Verses
December 25, 2008

  Cold winds chase the winter rain outside
Cultivators enter the Zen Gate inside.
Let the winds sweep away layers of worries
And the rain wash down all the dust.
Focus your minds on the original awareness;
Do not mistake it as the spirit or consciousness.
As the thought-dust clear away themselves,
You will see plainly the original person.
Good cultivators, for this Zen-Seven Initiation, how does the last verse go?
   Original or not, the person is just such;
Like the morning sun—winds or rain can never touch.
Begin—

 窗外寒風逐冬雨   寺內行者入禪門
寒風掃除千層慮 冬雨洗盡萬點塵
禪子攝心觀自在 切莫錯認識中神
心清塵慮自淨盡 廓然得見舊時人


諸位知識,即今起七一事,最後一句又怎麼說法?

舊人新人祇這是 風雨何碍旭日昇

起—
