### [8.490](https://indike.org/pramana/in.bauddha.taisho.2001.8.490)

道人欲乞一囊錢。為我成褫負郭田。淺水駕牛披曉月。  
深雲下耒破春煙。力耕妙用吾家事。  
坐照真機自己禪。寄語檀那好相助。年年長得飯僧緣。

> A person of the Way wishes to beg a purse of money  
> To prepare the fields bordering the city on my behalf.  
> Driving the ox through shallow water, clad in the dawn moon;  
> Pushing the plow deep in the clouds, breaking through spring mist.  
> Hard tilling and wonderful functioning are our family's affair;  
> Sitting in illumination of genuine functioning is one's own Chan.  
> I send word to the dānapatis to assist kindly,  
> So that year after year conditions for feeding the monks may grow.
