The Snow that Falls from the Sky Turns Red;
He Presents It to the Patriarch
天降红血 呈示祖师
He cut off his arm. What happened then
Well, blood gushed out of the wound, dyeing the snow red. A lot of blood flowed and he mixed the blood with the snow, dyeing the originally white snow red. Dharma Master Shen Guang took something, perhaps a bamboo basket, scooped up a basketful of red snow, and said, "Patriarch, please take a look: now the snow is red."
砍断了,你说怎么样?那个血就如涌泉般地出来,一窜,把雪都染红了,啊!淌了很多血。他把血和到雪里,雪虽然是白的,经过血一染,就变成红的;于是神光法师就拿个东西──中国人扫地装尘土的畚箕──把这雪撮了一畚箕,红血、白雪这么一搅和,都变成红雪,说:“请祖师爷您看一看,现在这是红色的雪。
