涅槃城裏尚猶危。陌路相逢沒定期。權挂垢衣云是佛。却裝珍御復名誰。木人夜半穿靴去。石女天明戴帽歸。萬古碧潭空界月。再三撈漉始應知。

Even inside the city of nirvāṇa, it is still perilous; / Meeting as strangers on the road, there is no fixed time. / Provisionally wearing soiled clothes, one is called a Buddha; / Putting on precious robes once again, what should one be named? / The wooden man puts on his boots and departs at midnight; / The stone woman wears her hat and returns at daybreak. / The moon in the empty realm shines upon the eternal green pool; / Only after dredging again and again will you truly know.
