### [6.6](https://indike.org/pramana/in.bauddha.taisho.2004.6.6)

妙藥何曾過口（吞不入吐不出）神醫莫能捉手（無處摸𢱢）若存也渠本非無（唯言遍天下）  
至虛也渠本非有（不見一纖毫）  
不滅而生（虗若谷神常不死）不亡而壽（道先象帝自長生）全超威音之前（舒不到頭）  
獨步劫空之後（卷不到尾）成平也天蓋地擎（把定乾坤）  
運轉也烏飛兔走（斡旋造化）

> "When did the wonderful medicine ever pass through the mouth? (Cannot be swallowed down, cannot be spat out.)  
> The divine physician cannot lay a hand on him. (Nowhere to feel or touch.)  
> As if existing, it is fundamentally not nonexistent; (Only words pervade the world.)  
> Utterly empty, it is fundamentally not existent. (Not a single fine hair is seen.)  
> Not extinguished, it gives birth; (Empty like the valley spirit, it is ever undying.)  
> Not perishing, it enjoys longevity. (The Way precedes the Sovereign of Form; it is naturally long-lived.)  
> It completely transcends before the King of Majestic Voice; (Stretched out, it reaches no end.)  
> It walks alone after the kalpa of emptiness. (Rolled up, it has no tail.)  
> Peacefully accomplished, heaven covers and earth supports; (Holding heaven and earth firmly.)  
> In its turning and revolving, the crow flies and the hare runs." (Revolving creation.)
