2.23

兩堂雲水盡分拏。王老師能驗正邪。利刀斬斷俱亡像。
千古令人愛作家。此道未喪。知音可嘉。
鑿山透海兮唯尊大禹。鍊石補天兮獨賢女媧。
趙州老有生涯。草鞋頭戴較些些。異中來也還明鑒。
只箇真金不混沙。

Monks of both halls were locked in dispute;
Master Wang could test the upright and the perverse.
A sharp blade cuts through, both forms erased;
For a thousand ages he makes people admire an adept.
This Way has not perished;
Those who know the tune are worthy of praise.
Boring through mountains and penetrating the sea, Great Yu alone is revered;
Smelting stones to mend the heavens, Nüwa alone is esteemed.
Old Zhaozhou has his own livelihood;
Wearing straw sandals on his head is rather superior.
Coming from difference, the clear mirror still reflects;
Only this pure gold is unmixed with sand.
