### [3.5](https://indike.org/pramana/in.bauddha.taisho.1992.3.5)

發志辭親，意欲何能，投佛出家，異俗專心。慕法為僧，既得尸羅具備，又能法服霑身，父母不供甘旨，王侯不侍不臣，潔白修持，如氷似玉，不名不利，去垢去塵，受人天之瞻敬，承釋梵之恭勤。忖德業，量來處，將何報答為門戶、專精何行即能消？唯有參尋別無路。苦身心，歷山水，白眉作伴為參禮，冐雪衝霜不避寒，渡水穿雲伏龍鬼。銕錫飛，銅瓶滿，不問世間長與短，叢林道侶要商量，四句百非一齊翦，探玄機明道眼，入室設針須鍛鍊，驅邪顯正自應知，勿使身心有散亂。道難行，塵易漫，頭頭物物須明見，區區役役走東西，今古看來忙無限。我今行，勤自辨，莫教失却來時伴，舉足動步要分明，切忌被他虛使喚。入叢林，行大道，不著世間虛浩浩，堅求至理不辭勞，剪去繁華休作造，百衲衣，雲水襖，萬事無心離煩惱，千般巧妙不施功，直出輪迴生死道。勸同袍，求正見，莫似愚夫頻改變，投嵓立雪猛身心，方得法王常照現。請益勤，恭敬速，不避寒暄常不足，只緣心地未安然，不羨榮華不怕辱，直教見性不從他，自家解唱還鄉曲。度平生，實安樂，蕩蕩縱橫無依托，四方八面應機緣，萬象森羅任寬廓。報四恩，拔三有，問答隨機易開口，五湖四海乍相逢，一擊雷音師子吼，悠悠自在樂騰騰，大地乾坤無過咎。分明報爾水雲僧，記取面南看北斗。讚曰：「五湖四海歷叢林，萬里千山不易尋，親覲祖宗明見性，莫將薺苨作人蔘。」

> Arousing the aspiration, one bids farewell to kin—what power could the mind desire?  
> Taking refuge in the Buddha and leaving the household, one is distinct from the worldly, single-minded.  
> Longing for the Dharma to become a monk,  
> once the śīla is fully possessed  
> and the Dharma robes drape the body,  
> one provides no delicacies for parents,  
> nor serves kings or lords as a subject.  
> Practicing purity, like ice and like jade,  
> seeking neither fame nor profit, casting off defilement and dust,  
> one receives the reverence and veneration of humans and devas,  
> and inherits the diligent respect of Śakra and Brahmā.  
> Pondering one's virtue and practice, weighing where \[offerings\] come from:  
> how will one repay them on behalf of the lineage?  
> Concentrating on what practice will one be able to consume them?  
> There is only seeking and investigating—no other path.  
> Afflicting body and mind, traversing mountains and rivers,  
> taking white-browed masters as companions for homage and study,  
> braving snow and pressing through frost without shunning the cold,  
> crossing waters and piercing clouds, subduing dragons and ghosts.  
> The iron staff flies, the copper bottle is filled;  
> one asks not about the lengths and shortcomings of the world.  
> Lineage companions in the monastic groves must deliberate,  
> cleaving away the four propositions and hundred negations all at once,  
> exploring the mysterious dynamic to clarify the eye of the Way.  
> Entering the room, needles are applied; one must undergo forging.  
> Expelling the heterodox and revealing the correct, one should naturally know;  
> do not let body and mind become distracted.  
> The Way is hard to walk; dust easily overtakes.  
> In each and every thing, one must see clearly.  
> Toiling and laboring, running east and west,  
> viewed from past to present, the busyness is limitless.  
> In my walking now, I diligently discern for myself;  
> do not lose the companion that came along at the start.  
> Lifting the foot and moving a step must be distinct and clear;  
> be utterly vigilant against being vainly ordered about by another.  
> Entering the monastic groves, walking the Great Way,  
> not clinging to the world's empty vastness,  
> firmly seeking the ultimate principle without sparing labor,  
> cutting away luxury and ceaseless contrivance.  
> A hundred-patch robe, a cloud-and-water jacket;  
> with no-mind toward the myriad affairs, one is free from affliction.  
> Of a thousand kinds of cleverness, none applies effort;  
> one steps straight out from the path of cyclic rebirth and death.  
> I urge my fellow wearers of robes to seek right view;  
> do not be like fools, frequently changing course.  
> Throwing oneself over cliffs or standing in the snow with a bold body and mind—  
> only then does the Dharma King constantly shine and appear.  
> Requesting instruction with diligence, paying respect with swiftness,  
> not avoiding cold or heat, ever feeling inadequate;  
> only because the ground of mind is not yet settled,  
> one envies not glory and fears not humiliation,  
> directly causing one to see into one's nature without following another,  
> oneself understanding how to sing the song of returning home.  
> Passing one's whole life in true peace and joy,  
> vast and unfettered, with nothing to rely upon;  
> meeting occasions and conditions in the four quarters and eight directions,  
> leaving the myriad phenomena entirely to broad vastness.  
> Repaying the four kindnesses, pulling out the three realms of existence,  
> asking and answering according to the capacity, it is easy to open the mouth.  
> Meeting by chance across the five lakes and four seas,  
> a single clash of thunderous sound, a lion's roar;  
> leisurely and self-at-ease, overflowing with joy,  
> throughout the great earth, heaven and earth, there is no fault.  
> Clearly I report to you, cloud-and-water monks:  
> remember to face south and look at the Northern Dipper.  
> In praise it is said:  
> Traversing the monastic groves across five lakes and four seas,  
> through myriad leagues and a thousand mountains, it is not easy to seek.  
> Face-to-face seeing the ancestral lineage, clarify seeing into your nature;  
> do not mistake the false ginseng for true ginseng.
