Pursuing the Patriarch, He Follows Him Straight to Mount Song
追隨祖師 直至嵩山
Dharma Master Shen Guang raced after Patriarch Bodhidharma. The Patriarch paid no attention to him but just kept on walking. Dharma Master Shen Guang followed him all the way to Bear”s Ear Mountain, close to Mount Song, the Central Yo [sacred mountain], near Luoyang. The Five Yo [sacred mountains] are Mount Tai (Peace) in the east, Mount Heng (Authority) in the south, Mount Hua (Elegance) in the west, Mount Heng (Constancy) in the north, and Mount Song (Eminence) in the center.
神光法師追達摩祖師,達摩祖師也不理他,就前頭走;神光法師就後頭追,一追就追到洛陽的熊耳山去,──中嶽嵩山也叫熊耳山。五嶽就是東嶽泰山、南嶽衡山、西嶽華山、北嶽恒山、中嶽嵩山。
