觀心空王。玄妙難測。無名無相。大有神力。能滅千災。成就萬德。體性雖空。能施法則。觀之無形。呼之有聲。為大法將。心戒傳經。水中鹽味。色裏膠青。決定是有。不見其形。心王亦爾。身內居停。面門出入。應物隨情。自在無礙。所作皆成。了本識心。識心見佛。是心是佛。是佛是心。念念佛心。佛心念佛。欲得早成。戒心自律。淨律淨心。心即是佛。除此心王。更無別佛。欲求成佛。莫染一物。心性雖空。貪瞋體實。入此法門。端坐成佛。到彼岸已。得波羅蜜。慕道真士。自觀自心。知佛在內。不向外尋。即心即佛。即佛即心。心明識佛。曉了識心。離心非佛。離佛非心。非佛莫測。無所堪任。執空滯寂。于此漂沈。諸佛菩薩。非此安心。明心大士。悟此玄音。身心性妙。用無能改。是故智者。放心自在。莫言心王。空無體性。能使色身。作邪作正。非有非無。隱顯不定。心性雖空。能凡能聖。是故相勸。好自防慎。剎那造作。還復漂沈。清淨心智。如世黃金。般若法藏。盡在身心。無為法寶。皆淺非深。諸佛菩薩。了此本心。有緣遇者。非去來今。

'Contemplate the empty Mind King: / Profound, subtle, hard to fathom. / Without name, without form, / Possessing great spiritual power. / Able to extinguish a thousand disasters, / And accomplish ten thousand virtues. / Although its essence is empty, / It can bestow dharmic rules. / Contemplating it, it has no shape; / Calling to it, there is a sound. / Serving as the great Dharma commander, / The precepts of the mind transmit the scripture. / Like the flavor of salt in water, / Or the glue-binding in paint: / Definitely existent, / Yet its form cannot be seen. / The Mind King is likewise so: / Residing within the body, / Entering and exiting through the facial gates, / Responding to things according to circumstances. / Unimpeded, unobstructed, / All that it does is accomplished. / Comprehend the fundamental and know the mind; / Knowing the mind, one sees the Buddha. / This mind is the Buddha; / The Buddha is this mind. / In every thought, the Buddha mind; / The Buddha mind contemplates the Buddha. / Wishing for swift realization, / Discipline the mind with precepts. / Pure discipline, pure mind: / The mind is precisely the Buddha. / Apart from this Mind King, / There is no other Buddha. / Wishing to seek buddhahood, / Do not be defiled by a single thing. / Though mind-nature is empty, / Greed and anger appear real. / Entering this Dharma gate, / Sit upright and become a Buddha. / Having reached the other shore, / One attains pāramitā. / Genuine aspirants longing for the Way, / Contemplate your own mind: / Know that the Buddha is within; / Do not seek outwardly. / The mind itself is the Buddha; / The Buddha itself is the mind. / When the mind is bright, it recognizes the Buddha; / Fully comprehending, it knows the mind. / Apart from the mind, there is no Buddha; / Apart from the Buddha, there is no mind. / Without the Buddha, it cannot be fathomed, / Unfit for any role. / Grasping emptiness,滞 staying stuck in stillness: / Here one drifts and drowns. / The Buddhas and Bodhisattvas / Do not settle their minds in this. / The Great Being of enlightened mind / Awakens to this profound sound. / The nature of body and mind is wondrous, / Its function cannot be altered. / Therefore, the wise / Let the mind be free and at ease. / Do not say the Mind King / Is empty and lacks substance: / It can cause the physical body / To act evilly or act righteously. / Neither existent nor nonexistent, / Its concealing and revealing are unfixed. / Though mind-nature is empty, / It can be mundane or sacred. / Therefore, I urge you all / To carefully guard and heed yourself: / Created in an instant, / You drift and drown once again. / Pure wisdom of the mind / Is like gold in the world. / The Dharma treasury of prajñā / Is entirely in body and mind. / The Dharma-jewel of asaṃskṛta / Is shallow, not deep. / The Buddhas and Bodhisattvas / Have comprehended this original mind. / Those who have the karmic cause to encounter it / Transcend past, future, and present.'
