客行萬餘里。渺然滄海上。五嶺常炎欝。百越多山瘴。兼以勞形神。遂此嬰疲恙。桐雷邈已遠。砭石良難訪。抱影私自怜。霑衿獨惆悵。毘城有長者。生平夙所尚。復藉大因緣。勉以深迴向。心路資調伏。於焉念實相。水沫本難摩。乾城空有狀。是生非至理。是我皆虛妄。求之不可得。誰其受業障。信矣大醫王。茲力誠無量。

A traveler journeying more than ten thousand li, / far away upon the dark blue sea. / The Five Ridges are ever hot and stifling; / the Hundred Yue have many mountain miasmas. / Added to this was the toil of body and spirit, / so that I fell prey to this weary sickness. / Tongjun and Leigong are already far away; / stone acupuncture needles are truly hard to find. / Embracing my shadow, I pity myself in secret; / moistening my lapels, I am solitary and downcast. / In the city of Vaiśālī was an elder / whom throughout my life I long admired. / Relying further on great causal conditions, / he urged me to deep dedication of merit. / The path of mind relies on subduing, / and thereupon contemplates the true aspect. / Water foam is fundamentally hard to grasp; / the city of Gandharvas is empty in its shape. / This birth is not ultimate reality; / this self is entirely illusory. / Seeking it, it cannot be obtained; / who then receives karmic hindrances? / Faithful indeed is the Great King of Physicians; / this power is truly measureless.
