袁州陽岐山甄叔禪師。上堂示眾曰。群靈一源假名為佛。體竭形消而不滅。金流朴散而常存。性海無風金波自涌。心靈絕兆萬象齊昭。體斯理者。不言而遍歷沙界。不用而功益玄化。如何背覺反合塵勞。於陰界中妄自囚執。師始登此山宴處。以至成院。聚徒演法四十餘年。唐元和十五年正月十三日歸寂。荼毘獲舍利七百粒。於東峯下建塔。

> Chan Master Zhenshu of Mount Yangqi in Yuanzhou entered the hall and instructed the assembly, saying: "The myriad spirits share one source, provisionally termed 'Buddha.' Though its substance be exhausted and its form perish, it is never extinguished; though gold runs liquid and the unworked timber scatters, it constantly abides. On the sea of nature without wind, the golden waves surge of themselves; the mind-spirit transcends omens, yet the ten thousand phenomena shine forth together. One who embodies this principle traverses the sandy realms without speaking, and aids the mysterious transformation with effortless efficacy. How can you turn your back on awakening and conversely harmonize with worldly dust and toil, vainly imprisoning and grasping yourselves within the aggregates and realms?" When the Master first climbed this mountain, he dwelt in leisure, until a monastery was established, where he gathered disciples and expounded the Dharma for more than forty years. On the thirteenth day of the first month in the fifteenth year of the Yuanhe reign period of the Tang dynasty, he returned to quiescence. From the cremation, seven hundred relics (śarīra) were obtained, and a stūpa was built below the Eastern Peak.
