11.54

咸通七載初參道　到處逢言不識言
心裏癡團若栲栳　三春不樂止林泉
忽遇法王氈上坐　便陳疑懇向師前
師從氈上那伽起　袒膊當胸打一拳
駭散癡團獦狚落　舉頭看見日初圓
從茲蹬蹬以碣碣　直至如今常快活
只聞肚裏飽膨脝　更不東西去持鉢

"In the seventh year of Xiantong I first investigated the Dao;
Everywhere I encountered words, yet did not recognize words.
Inside my mind the lump of foolishness was like a woven basket;
For three springs I was unhappy, resting by the forest springs.
Suddenly I met the Dharma King sitting on a felt rug,
And immediately presented my doubts and sincerity before the Master.
From the felt rug the Master arose like a nāga,
Bared his shoulder, and struck a fist right against my chest.
Startled, the lump of foolishness scattered, falling away in alarm;
Raising my head, I saw the sun for the first time round.
From this point on, stumbling and tottering,
Straight through to the present I am always cheerful and joyful.
I only hear that inside my belly is stuffed full and distended,
No longer going east or west to hold the alms bowl."
