龍年的開示

崇山禪師在1976年的龍年寫了以下這首詩:

此是真,哪是實?
真松無根,
真光無影,
無孔笛鳴真音,
是什麼意思?
如你找到有鬚的龍牙,
讓我看看。
那我會告訴你,1976是龍年。

2012也是龍年,以上的詩句如何幫助我們渡過龍年?

For the Year of the Dragon

In 1976, the Year of the Dragon, Zen Master Seung Sahn had written a poem like this :

Here is Jin, which is Truth.
Jin Song means True Pine Tree-
True Pine Tree has no roots.
Jin Kwang means True Light-
True Light has no shadow.

Jin Um means True Sound-
That is the sound of the flute with no holes.
What does it mean?

If you find the dragon's tooth hair
Then show it to me;
Then I'll tell you that 1976
Is the year of the Dragon.

2012 is also a dragon year. How can the above poem help us in this year of 2012?
