能仁矜幻苦　聖意愍重昏
哀愚開攝受　訓誘方便門
法身遍法界　據化指祇園
俱銷五道縛　共解四魔怨
三脩祛愛馬　六念靜心猿
禪池澄定水　覺意動聲諠
慧風吹法鼓　振我無明根
常須近善友　開我未曾言

The Capable and Benevolent One pities illusory suffering;
The sage's mind mourns the profound darkness.
Pitying the foolish, he initiates acceptance;
Instructing and guiding, he opens skillful means.
The dharmakāya pervades the dharmadhātu;
Taking physical manifestation, it points to the Jetavana.
Together melting the fetters of the five destinies,
Together untying the malice of the four Māras.
The three cultivations banish the horse of craving;
The six recollections still the monkey of the mind.
The dhyāna pool clarifies the water of samādhi;
The factors of awakening stir with clamorous sound.
The wind of wisdom beats the Dharma drum,
Shaking the root of our ignorance.
One must always draw near to good friends,
Who open up for us what has never been spoken.
