55 老耆德林歡迎
途次將至洪福寺山門，有老耆德林師，見公在雪中興拜而來，向前迎接，曰請上座。師傳進寺休息，喚徒將行李搬入寺中，殷勤招待，沐浴更衣。飲茶食飯後，問上座何處拜，曰普陀山。
宣化偈曰：
德林老宿接德僧，
歡迎讚歎待上賓。
殷勤招待茶飯後，
請問上座何處臨。
55 Being received by the Elder Master Te Lin
As the Master approached the gates of Hung Fu (Overflowing Blessings) Monastery， The Elder Master Te Lin saw him bowing along the snowy road. He went out to greet him and said, “Would the Venerable Master care to rest here in our monastery? ” “He told a disciple to bring in the Master’s bag. The Elder Master was impressed and treated his guest with deference. The Master bathed and changed clothes. After tea and food had been served，the Elder Master asked him, “From where did you come?” “Potala Mountain.” said the Master.
The verse says:
The Elder Master Te Lin received the virtuous Bhikshu.
guest.
The Elder Master was greatly inspired and treated him with deference.
After refreshments, he politely asked,”Where is the Master going?”
56 對坐談心敘舊
至此已兩年矣，談次知公出家鼓山，籍湘鄉，得老不覺淚下。曰予有同參三人，一衡陽，一福州，伴朝山，同住林下。三十年分手後，消息斷絕，今見上座，恍如同參，不覺動念，予年八十五矣。
宣化偈曰：
向對談心有前因，
溯往追來淚潸然。
老僧為何不放下，
想起同參未了緣。
56 Chatting about old times
Two Years had now passed since the Master began his journey. When the Elder Master Te Lin learned that the Master had left the home-life at Ku Shan (Drum Mountain) Monastery and that he was a native of Hsiang-hsiang, his tears flowed unbidden. He said. “I had two companions, one was from Heng Yang and the other from Fu Chou. We made a pilgrimage to the mountain and lived together in a grove. Some thirty years later, we went our own ways and I have not seen or heard of either of them since. Seeing you has reminded me of them. Ahh, I’m already 85 years old!”
The verse says:
The hearty chat of the monks had its prior causes.
Recalling the past and pursuing the future, the Elder Sanghan’s tears came down like rain,
Why was it that the old cultivator couldn’t put it down?
Reminiscing about old friends with whom he shared unfinished affinities.
