29.59

The ancients' bones possessed much numinous wonder; / worthy descendants secretly set them to rest. / This one gate constitutes filial duty; / if people have not reached it, let them make no blunder. / One must resolve firmly to dispel fox-like doubts; / attaining peaceful stillness, one will not fall into peril. / Facing it is distant, seeking it is separation; / taking it is hurried, losing it is sluggish. / Without calculation, forget awareness and knowing; / the muddy stream discerns falsehoods present and ancient. / In a single kṣaṇa, reaching through changes and variations: / from craggy mountains, the stone-fire vapor / bursts from within, burning the mountain peaks; / unhindered, it scorches the bottom of the ocean. / The Dharma net is loose, the numinous flame minute. / Lying down in the sixth month, take off clothing and quilt; / it cannot be covered over, without falsehood. / One who has reached the Way chants the ancestor's intent; / the lineage of my master from ancient times was concealed. / Only such a person skillfully sets it to rest, / abundant in Dharma wealth, fully endowed with shame and conscience. / Not dispensing it in vain, the place of application is accurate. / If someone asks, exhale gently; / if they inquire further, say that rice is expensive.
