6.39
"Birth and death are one,
Not conceived, not spoken;
Penetratingly realized and fully awakened,
A single breath is a thousand kalpas.
Alas, what was the Master's concern?
Earnest loyalty and filial piety,
Wishing to guide the deluded throng
And bring them toward the correct teaching.
Laughing, mocking, raging, and scolding—
The work of the Buddha blazed brightly.
When emotion arises, wisdom is obstructed,
And doubt and slander burst forth.
Tianmu stands towering,
Unyielding through all antiquity;
O Master, your virtue and the Way
Stand equal with this mountain."
