6.11

枕簞雲作屏,必固黃金宅,軒窓月為晝,豈止虛生白。
麟龍愧頭角,雕鶚慚羽翮,庶擬群類心,在寬如在窄。

Pillow and mat have clouds for a screen;
They surely make firm the golden mansion.
Veranda and window have the moon for daylight;
How could it merely generate brightness in the empty room?
Qilin and dragon feel ashamed before his horns;
Eagle and osprey feel humbled before his wings.
May it be that the minds of the various kinds of beings,
Whether in expansiveness or in confinement, are just so.
