鎔冶兩儀。鑪鎚萬有（此喻造化為大冶。莊子以天地為大鑪。以造化為大冶。若鎔銷而鑄之。兩儀乃陰陽昇降之理即一動一靜之法。亦如良工鑄物必以鑪鞴鉗鎚。作諸器皿。皆從方寸之間而發生。此喻法身邊事）。

which smelts the two modes and hammers out the myriad beings in the furnace. (This compares creation and transformation to a great foundry. Zhuangzi takes heaven and earth as a great furnace and creation and transformation as a great foundry. If they smelt and cast, the two modes are the principle of the ascending and descending of yin and yang, which is the law of movement and rest. It is also like a skilled artisan casting objects, who must use a furnace, bellows, tongs, and hammer to make all kinds of vessels, all arising from his square-inch mind. This is an analogy for the domain of the Dharma body.)
