### [7.210](https://indike.org/pramana/in.bauddha.taisho.2034.7.210)

本端竟何從　起滅有無際  
一微涉動境　成此頹山勢  
或想更相乘　觸理自生滯  
因緣雖無主　開途非一世  
時無悟宗匠　誰將握玄契  
來問尚悠悠　相與期暮歲

> "From what, after all, does the fundamental origin arise?  
> Arising and ceasing, being and non-being are boundless.  
> A single subtle particle touches the realm of motion,  
> Forming the momentum of this collapsing mountain.  
> Or perhaps thoughts mount upon one another,  
> Encountering the principle, entanglements naturally arise.  
> Although causes and conditions lack a master,  
> The paths opened do not span a single generation.  
> In an age without a master who awakens to the principle,  
> Who will grasp the profound agreement?  
> Your incoming inquiry is still far-reaching;  
> Let us meet together in our twilight years."
