3.137

登山須拄杖,渡水要行船,有客開顏笑,無愁展脚眠。
萬般存此道,一味信前緣,試比紅塵裏,清虛直幾錢。

To climb a mountain one must have a staff; / To cross water one needs a boat. / When a guest arrives, break into a smile; / Free of sorrow, stretch out your legs and sleep. / In myriad circumstances maintain this Way; / With a single taste trust in former conditions. / Try comparing it with within the red dust: / How much is pure emptiness worth?
