長蘆第一座臻兄老禪相從久如。深造道妙姑以所得之奧。柄麈調牧雲來衲子。茲日語予曰。禪家動靜游燕。常在其中。佛束比丘不可肆意。獨居者屋則尖頭。箇所謂庵者是也。我所住處。師可以名之。隨問而應曰。至游。夫道人之至游矣。履虛極守妙明。飲真醇住清白。斷崖放足。空劫轉身。一得妙存。亡絕對待。自然出應無方。谷響水月。塵塵無礙。心心一如。彼我相忘。是非斯泯。方圓大小。歷歷不爽。能如是也。入諸世間。真契游戲三昧。斯可謂至游矣。衲僧之所住處。何必縛屋編茨。孤兀世外。因系以銘曰。

For the person of the Way's utmost roaming treads the peak of emptiness and guards wondrous clarity, drinks the pure and mellow, and abides in the immaculate. Letting go one's feet on a precipitous cliff, turning the body in the kalpa of emptiness; once the wondrous existence is attained, duality is entirely abolished. Naturally, one comes forth and responds without fixed direction—valley echo, water and moon—every dust unimpeded, every thought in thusness. Other and self forget each other; right and wrong are thereby dissolved. Square and round, large and small, are distinct and never err. Being able to be like this, entering all worldly realms, one truly tallies with the samādhi of playful roaming. This indeed may be called utmost roaming. Why must a patch-robed monk's dwelling be tied of thatch and woven of reeds, standing solitary and aloof outside the world? Therefore, I attach this inscription, which says:
