廓矣大象理玄無名。體神入化。落影離形。迴暉層巖。凝映虛亭。在陰不昧。處暗逾明。婉步蟬蛻。朝宗百靈。應不同方。跡絕而冥（其一）。茫茫荒宇。靡勸靡獎。淡虛寫容。拂空傳像。相具體微。中姿自朗。白毫吐曜。昏夜中爽。感徹乃應。扣誠發響。留音停岫。津悟冥賞。撫之有會。功弗由曩（其二）。旋踵忘敬。罔慮罔識。三光掩暉。萬象一色。庭宇幽藹。歸塗莫測。悟之以靜。挹之以力。惠風雖遐。維塵攸息。匪伊玄覽。孰扇其極（其三）。希音遠流。乃眷東顧。欣風慕道。仰規玄度。妙盡毫端。運微輕素。託采虛凝。殆映宵霧。迹以像告。理深其趣。奇興開襟。祥風引路。清氣迴於軒宇。昏明交而未曙。髣髴鏡神儀。依俙若真遇（其四）。銘之圖之。曷營曷求。神之聽之。鑒爾所修。庶茲塵軌。映彼玄流。漱情靈沼。飲和至柔。照虛應簡。智落乃周。深懷冥託。宵想神遊。畢命一對。長謝百憂（其五）。

Vast is the Great Image; / Its principle is profound and nameless. / Embodying the spirit, it enters transformation; / Casting a shadow, it departs from form. / Turning its radiance upon the layered cliffs, / Congealing its reflection in the empty pavilion. / In shade it is not obscured; / In the dark it grows ever brighter. / Gracefully stepping, it undergoes a cicada's moult; / The hundred spirits pay homage at court. / Responses are not confined to one quarter; / Its traces are severed and dark (the first). / Boundless is the desolate universe, / With none to encourage and none to reward. / Pure and empty, it portrays the countenance; / Sweeping through the void, it transmits the image. / With marks complete, the form is subtle; / The central posture is naturally luminous. / The white ūrṇā emits radiance, / Clearing the midst of dark night. / When stimulus penetrates, response occurs; / Striking sincerity calls forth a sound. / Leaving sounds to linger on the peaks, / Leading to awakening in dark appreciation. / Comprehending it, there is a convergence; / Its efficacy does not stem from the past (the second). / Turning on one's heels, one forgets reverence, / Without thought and without awareness. / The three luminaries veil their radiance; / The myriad forms become a single color. / Courtyards and halls grow dim and obscure; / The path of return cannot be fathomed. / Awaken to it through stillness; / Draw from it through effort. / Though the breeze of benevolence is distant, / Defilements are brought to rest. / Were it not for that profound contemplation, / Who could fan its ultimate reach? (the third). / The rare sound flows far, / Turning its gaze toward the east. / Rejoicing in the breeze and yearning for the Way, / Looking up to emulate the profound measure. / Subtlety exhausted at the brush's tip, / Moving subtly upon the light silk. / Entrusting color to congeal in the void, / It almost reflects through the night mist. / Traces are proclaimed through images; / Principle deepens its purport. / Rare inspiration opens the breast; / Auspicious wind leads the way. / Pure air swirls around the eaves; / Light and dark mingle before dawn. / Vaguely mirroring the divine countenance, / Dimly as if a true encounter (the fourth). / Inscribing it, depicting it— / What does one seek, what does one pursue? / The spirit listens to it; / Mirroring what you have cultivated. / May these dust-like tracks / Reflect that profound stream. / Rinsing the emotions in the spiritual pond, / Drinking harmony of the utmost gentleness. / Illumining emptiness, response is simple; / When knowledge falls away, it is all-pervading. / Deeply harboring dark reliance, / In nightly thoughts the spirit roams. / When this life ends, with one encounter, / One takes everlasting leave of the hundred sorrows (the fifth).
