The Dharma garden is called the fine apple; / This park is splendid with slender bamboos. / Spiritual awakenings reciprocate like casting shadows; / Divine immortals roost and lodge together. / Wisdom and meaning are compared to jasper and jade; / Refining influence is like orchids and chrysanthemums. / The profound principle matches the ten calculations; / The deep achievement resembles the ninefold rammed earth. / Flower-strewn waters awaken the silver boat; / The square avenues display golden axles. / Subtle words have long been severed; / Worldly toils have multiplied in accumulation. / By virtue of this, wisdom clouds are expounded, / Seeking to subdue the dust of the mind. / Eight waters moisten scorched sprouts; / The three vidyās open the eyes of the multitude. / Precious bells alternate at dawn; / Renowned incense grows fragrant in the evening. / For a time set aside reverence for the six dragons; / Briefly dispel the anxiety over the two mice. / The tree of intent blossoms with sky-flowers; / The lotus of the heart emits a gentle fragrance. / Compare this to the transformation of the vast ocean; / Likened to the ripening of the mango fruit. / Wondrous wisdom is like richly brocaded silk; / Deep words are like misty gossamer. / Skilful learning is like the Brahmā fingernail; / True words differ from the brass belly. / Meandering, parasol-like clouds cover the city; / Luxuriantly, golden saffron spreads out. / Jewel-flowers shade the eight streams; / Jade currents flow through the nine valleys. / Green birds suddenly descend and ascend; / Cloud-geese fly, wheeling and turning. / Lofty discussions belong to supreme occasions; / With little learning, I am ever self-ashamed. / The sun beautifies the mandarin-duck tiles; / The wind sweeps past the spider-webbed roof. / Falling petals scatter distant fragrances; / Drifting clouds gather far-off clusters. / Vast salvation matches the Elephant Park; / The middle vehicle seems to stand in solitude. / Later flames are difficult to maintain bright; / The initial mind easily shrinks in fear. / One should depart from the flower-strewn water, / And not run counter to the lacquered wood. / Throwing oneself from a cliff is not to be valued; / How can one dwell in a forest of brambles? / Like the moon reflected in a vessel, we hope the shadow stays; / Like ashes of the heart, we hope they will be quenched. / Viewing passions is like bees gathering nectar; / Wandering in virtue is like beans in the field. / The Eight Towns of the Mountain of the Rṣi; / The Four Jewels in the bay of the divine dragon. / The medicinal tree ever flourishes; / How could the branches of dhyāna wither? / Delighting herein in hearing the Way, / We hope thereby to surpass worldly pursuits. / Wishing to pursue the open-air jewel cart, / Casting off our slippers, we personally push the wheels.
