大雄正續臨濟綱宗。因問黃檗西來。痛與烏藤三頓。遂往大愚打發。親揮肋下三拳。言下便見老婆心。懸知佛法無多子。奮奔雷喝。捋猛虎鬚。迸開於赤肉團邊。到處用白拈手段。飛星爆竹。裂石崩崖。氷稜上行。劍刃上走。全機電卷。大用天旋。赤手殺人。單刀直入。人境俱奪。照用並行。明頭來。暗頭來。佛也殺。祖也殺。辨古今於三玄三要。驗龍蛇於一主一賓。透脫羅籠。不存玄解。操金剛王劍。掃除竹木精靈。奮師子全威。振群狐心膽。下梢正法眼藏。滅却這瞎驢邊。徹骨徹髓。而血脈貫通。透頂透底。而乾坤獨露。綿綿不漏。器器相傳。蓋其宗祖高明。子孫光大。此臨濟宗也。

The Great Hero directly succeeded the cardinal principles of the Linji lineage. Because of asking Huangbo about the coming from the west, he was sorely given three rounds of the black rattan staff; thereupon he went to Dayu and was enlightened, personally delivering three punches under Dayu's ribs. Under the words he immediately saw the grandmotherly mind, and knew in advance that there is not much to the Buddha Dharma. He gave a shout like rumbling thunder, plucked the fierce tiger's whiskers, burst open beside the mass of red flesh, and everywhere used the technique of the ungraspable pickpocket. Flying stars and exploding crackers, splitting rocks and crumbling cliffs; walking upon icicles, treading upon sword blades. The complete dynamic flashes like lightning, the great function turns like the heavens. Killing with bare hands, driving straight in with a single blade. Snatching away both person and environment, illumination and function proceeding together. Coming in the light, coming in the dark; killing the Buddha, killing the patriarchs. Distinguishing ancient and modern in the Three Mysteries and Three Essentials, testing dragons and snakes in the single host and single guest. Breaking out of cages, retaining no mysterious understanding. Wielding the Vajra King's sword, sweeping away bamboo and wood spirits; arousing the full majesty of the lion, shaking the hearts and gall of the fox packs. In the end, the Treasury of the True Dharma Eye was extinguished beside this blind donkey! Thorough to the bone and marrow, the bloodline runs through; penetrating the crown and base, heaven and earth stand solely revealed. Unbroken and leakless, transmitted from vessel to vessel. Because their lineage ancestor was lofty and brilliant, his descendants magnified it. This is the Linji lineage.
