法記云：依理據教者，理則忘像海印，謂佛心中證三世間，而佛證心一無分別也。教則現像海印，謂佛所證三世間法，不動各位性在中道了了現現也。是故依忘像理導一朱畫，據現像教列多黑字，作圓印也。略制盤詩者，黑字盤於朱畫，朱畫盤於黑字，故云盤也。黑盤於朱則事遍於理，朱盤於黑則理遍於事也。

> Fa's Record states: As for "relying on principle and according with teaching": "principle" is the ocean seal of forgetting images, meaning that within the Buddha's mind the three worlds are realized, yet the Buddha's realizing mind is entirely without discrimination. "Teaching" is the ocean seal of manifesting images, meaning that the phenomena of the three worlds realized by the Buddha, without moving from their respective positions, have their natures distinctly and clearly manifested in the middle way. Therefore, relying on the principle of forgetting images, one draws a single vermilion line; according with the teaching of manifesting images, one arranges many black characters, making a circular seal. As for "briefly crafting an intertwined poem": the black characters wind along the vermilion line, and the vermilion line winds through the black characters; hence it is called "intertwined." When the black winds through the vermilion, phenomena pervade principle; when the vermilion winds through the black, principle pervades phenomena.
