竺土大仙心(誰是能舉)東西密相付(惜取眉毛)
人根有利鈍(作麼生)道無南北祖(且欵欵)
靈源明皎潔(撫掌呵呵)枝派暗流注(亦未相許)
執事元是迷(展開兩手)契理亦非悟(拈却了也)
門門一切境(捨短從長)迴互不迴互(以頭換尾)
迴而更相涉(者箇是拄杖子)不爾依位住(莫錯認定盤星)
色本殊質像(豈便開眸)聲元異樂苦(還同掩耳)
闇合上中言(心不負人)明明清濁句(口宜掛壁)
四大性自復(隨所依)如子得其母(可知也)
火熱風動搖(春氷自消)水濕地堅固(從旦至暮)
眼色耳音聲(海晏河清)鼻香舌鹹醋(可憑可據)
然於一一法(重報君)依根葉分布(好明取)
本末須歸宗(唯我能知)尊卑用其語(不犯之令)
當明中有暗(暗必可明)勿以暗相遇(明還非覩)
當暗中有明(一見三)勿以明相覩(無異說)
明暗各相對(若為分)比如前後步(不如此)
萬物自有功(旨爾寧止)當言用及處(縱橫十字)
事存函蓋合(仔細看)理應箭鋒拄(莫教錯)
承言須會宗(未兆非明)勿自立規矩(突出難辯)
觸目不會道(又何妨)運足焉知路(出不惡)
進步非近遠(唱彌高)迷隔山河故(和彌寡)
謹白參玄人(聞必同歸)光陰莫虛度(誠哉是言也)

The mind of the great sage of the land of India (Who is able to bring it up?) / was secretly transmitted from west to east. (Spreading his eyebrows in regret.)
Human faculties may be sharp or dull; (How is that?) / in the Way there are no southern or northern patriarchs. (Take it easy.)
The spiritual source is clear and pure; (Clapping hands with a ha-ha!) / its branching streams secretly flow on. (Neither is granted.)
Grasping at things is fundamentally delusion; (Opening both hands.) / merging with principle is still not enlightenment. (Taken away already!)
Each and every realm of the senses (Discarding the short to follow the long.) / interacts and does not interact. (Exchanging head for tail.)
Interacting, they yet interrelate; (This is a staff.) / otherwise, each abides in its own position. (Do not mistake the fixed star on the steelyard!)
Forms fundamentally differ in quality and shape; (How could one abruptly open one's eyes?) / sounds originally differ in joy and suffering. (Still like covering one's ears.)
Darkly matching words of high and middle, (The mind does not betray others.) / clearly distinguishing pure and turbid expressions. (The mouth ought to hang on the wall.)
The four elements return to their own natures (Following what they depend upon.) / like a child finding its mother. (It can be known.)
Fire is hot, wind moves and shakes; (Spring ice melts of itself.) / water is wet, and earth is solid. (From dawn until dusk.)
Eyes see forms, ears hear sounds; (The seas are tranquil, the rivers clear.) / nose smells scents, and tongue tastes salty and sour. (Trustworthy and verified.)
Yet with respect to each and every dharma, (Reporting to you again.) / according to roots and leaves they branch out and spread. (Understand it well!)
Root and branch must return to the source; (Only I can know it.) / high and low make use of their speech. (An inviolable order.)
Within the light there is darkness; (Darkness will certainly become light.) / do not encounter it as darkness. (Light is still not seen.)
Within the darkness there is light; (Seeing three in one.) / do not regard it as light. (No divergent explanation.)
Light and darkness face each other, (How to divide them?) / like the forward and backward steps. (Not like this.)
All things have their own function, (Its purport being so, how could it stop?) / according to speech, application, and place. (Vertical and horizontal, crosswise and lengthwise.)
Things exist like box and lid fitting together; (Look closely.) / principle accords like arrowheads meeting point-to-point. (Do not make a mistake.)
Hearing the words, you must understand the source; (Before signs appear, it is not light.) / do not establish rules on your own. (Sticking out, it is hard to discern.)
If your eyes encounter it and you do not understand the Way, (What harm is there?) / how can your feet know the path? (Coming forth is not bad.)
Stepping forward is neither near nor far; (The higher the song,) / delusion separates you by mountains and rivers. (the fewer join in harmony.)
I respectfully say to those who investigate the mystery: (Those who hear will surely return together.) / do not let the light and shade pass in vain! (Truly, these are sincere words!)
