16.61

The vehicle and the teaching are fundamentally one; / The Dharma-gate is non-dual. / The foundation of karmic actions accumulates brightness; / Merit comes from piling up stages. / Vast is the long ford, / Distant are the remote reaches. / The Way has constant honor; / The spirit has no fixed vessel. / Casting off sandals like a royal house, / He comes to inherit the precious throne. / The sun of wisdom opens in the morning; / The rain of incense falls from the night sky. / Relying on resonance, he surely follows; / Depending on conditions, he arrives. / Our sagely heir apparent, / Models himself on Heaven as deputy. / Esteeming the marks beneath the dragon branches, / In reverent gaze, he loves and admires. / Engraving stone to depict the subtle, / Carving gold to render the secret. / Looking up to the utmost of wondrous craft, / Ascending toward equal profoundness. / Transcendent, setting aside the mundane; / Blended together, the principle is complete. / Reverently inscribing the mysterious traces, / Thus transmitting this distant excellence.
