五玉已潤談而信。八桂雖芳風乃操。妙理至言惟聖寶。不自伊人孰弘道。照空觀法識遷流。撫俗瞻凡厭生老。絕滅情嗜斷歡怡。縱落豪榮棄彫藻。親愛倏忽信風煙。財利悠悠若塵草。測以龍雲豈曰高。濯足江漢更慚皓。

The five jades are moist, trustworthy in speech; / Though the eight laurels are fragrant, they are steered by the wind. / Wondrous principles and supreme words are the treasures of the sages alone; / If not for these persons, who could propagate the path? / Illuminating emptiness and contemplating phenomena, they discern transience; / Comforting the secular and regarding the ordinary, they weary of birth and aging. / Severing passions and cravings, cutting off pleasures and joy, / They abandon high rank and discard ornate embellishments. / Beloved kinsmen are fleeting, truly like wind and smoke; / Wealth and profit are vast and aimless, like dust and weeds. / Measured by dragons and clouds, how could they be called high? / Washing one's feet in the Jiang and Han rivers, one feels even more ashamed before their purity.
