俱胝老子指頭禪（縮却驢蹄）三十年來用不殘（至今蹺手亂下）  
信有道人方外術（這裏使不著）了無俗物眼前看（猶嫌少在）  
所得甚簡（畐塞乾坤）施設彌寬（不消一揑）大千剎海飲毛端（不留涓滴）  
鱗龍無限落誰手（天童猶在）珍重任公把釣竿（不妨驚人手段）  
師復竪起一指云看（慚惶殺人）

> "Old Man Juzhi's one-finger Chan: (He drew back the donkey's hooves.)  
> For thirty years, he used it without exhausting it. (To this day, they raise hands and put them down in confusion.)  
> Truly there is the Wayfarer's technique beyond the world; (Here, it cannot be used.)  
> Completely devoid of worldly objects to look upon before his eyes. (Still disliking that it is too little.)  
> What he attained was extremely simple; (Filling heaven and earth.)  
> His deployment was ever broad: (Not requiring a single pinch.)  
> The oceans of realms of the great chiliocosm are drunk by the tip of a hair. (Not leaving a single drop.)  
> Into whose hands do the endless scaled dragons fall? (Tiantong is still here.)  
> Take care, Lord Ren holding the fishing rod!" (Indeed, a startling skill.)  
> The Master again held up a finger and said, "Look!" (Shaming people to death.)
