6.24
At the tips of the hundred grasses, what an extreme!
Again I thrust an awl into the Chan followers.
Yunmen's word "both" is good to investigate;
Xuefeng rolling the ball is also precise.
Indigo is not blue, yet it is of the single color of the indigo plant;
As for the cinnabar of Chen and Jin, who dares call it red?
Inside the purple gauze canopy there is a genuine pearl;
On the road of Caoxi thorns and briars grow.
Do you still understand?
If at this time you do not investigate the root source,
Go straight into the future and ask Maitreya.
