(part three). > Its subtle sound flows afar, / turning its gracious gaze to the east. / Rejoicing in the breeze and admiring the Way, / we look up to follow the profound measure. / Exhausting marvels at the tip of the brush, / wielding subtlety upon light silk. / Lodged in color, it softly congeals, / nearly shining through the misty firmament. / Traces use the likeness to depict the real; / principle deepens its import. / A rare inspiration opens the heart; / an auspicious wind leads the way. / Clear air wheels about the eaves, / as the dark blend has yet to dawn. / Vaguely discerning the divine visage, / faintly and reverently we meet it (part four). > Inscribing it and picturing it, / what does one seek or strive for? / May the spirit hear it, / and behold that which you cultivate. / May these dusty tracks / reflect that profound current. / Rinsing our hearts in the wondrous pool, / drinking harmony to reach supreme gentleness. / Illuminating the void, responding with simplicity; / when wisdom subsides, it is truly complete. / Deeply cherishing unseen entrustment, / night thoughts make a spirit journey. / Meeting it once at life's end, / we bid lasting farewell to a hundred sorrows (part five). > — English (machine translation) (machine translation) - [Previous: 6.9](https://indike.org/pramana/in.bauddha.taisho.2059.6.9) - [Next: 6.11](https://indike.org/pramana/in.bauddha.taisho.2059.6.11) - [Up: 6](https://indike.org/pramana/in.bauddha.taisho.2059.6) ## Translations (1) - [English (machine translation)](https://indike.org/pramana/in.bauddha.taisho.2059~en-mt.6.10) — English, machine translation ## Linked texts (1) - [大方廣佛華嚴經隨疏演義鈔](https://indike.org/pramana/in.bauddha.taisho.1736.21.26) — Classical Chinese --- Source: [https://indike.org/pramana/in.bauddha.taisho.2059.6.10](https://indike.org/pramana/in.bauddha.taisho.2059.6.10) · Pramāṇa
