6.6

"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.)
