七佛偈
The Gathas From Seven Buddhas
一．毗婆尸佛偈曰：
身從無相中受生，猶如幻出諸形相。
幻人心識本來無，罪福皆空無所住
The body is born from non-form, just like phantasm of
A lot of things
Yet mind and consciousness from dreamed people are
Empty in fact
You would not regard felicity and evil as a true thing
It is all right.
二尸棄佛偈曰：
起諸善法本是幻，造諸惡業亦是幻。
身如聚沫心如風，幻出無根無實性。
In fact doing good is empty, and then doing evil is empty, too.
And yet the body is just like foam, the mind being like wind,
They have no roots or features, all are vanity of vanities, yeah
三。毗舍佛偈曰：
假借四大以為身，心本無生因境有。
前境若無心亦無，罪福如幻起亦滅。
We always disregard Four Substances as our body.
And there has never been mind which comes out,
Where there is dreamland, there is mind appearing
Whether fairyland doesn』t come out, mind won』t .
Felicity and evil are in a dream and then are gone.
四。拘留孫佛偈曰：
見身無實是佛身，了心如幻是佛幻。
了得身心本性空，斯人與佛何殊別。
When you feel your body is empty, the empty
Body is just Buddha』s body.
When you feel your mind is vanity, the empty
Mind is just Buddha』s mind.
If you had felt your mind and body are empty,
You should become Buddha ?
五。拘那含牟尼佛偈曰：
佛不見身知是佛，若實有知別無佛。
智者能知罪性空，坦然不怖于生死。
When Buddha doesn』t feel his body, his
Consciousness is his Buddha.
The sage should know empty evil, he is
Never afraid of life or death.
六迦葉佛偈曰：
一切眾生性清靜，從本無生無可滅。
即此身心是幻生，幻化之中無罪福。
Dharmakaya of all creatures is quiet and pure, there
Is no emergence or evanescence from it.
It is your mind and body that are in a dream, there
Is no felicity or evil in an empty dream.
七釋迦牟尼佛曰
法本法無法，無法法亦法。
今付無法時，法法何曾法。
As for Dharma , it is never dharma itself, yet
Dharma without dharma is dharma.
At present I send no dharma to you, you feel
Where dharma, no dharma will be ?
法、非法、非非法，舍非非法；
門、無門、無無門，入無無門。
Dharma，non-dharma, no non-dharma, the last one should be given up;
A gate, non-gate, no non-gate, the last one would havebe gotten in.
你不能傳授任何知識給別人，
只能助他一背之力找到他的本有之寶。
You cannot teach a man anything. You can
only help him discover it within himself。
By Galileo Galilei, astronomer and physicist
世尊說的偈：
嫉妒睡眠掉，貪欲是惡法，牽人至地獄，至竟無解脫，
是以當舍離，嫉妒及睡調，亦當舍于欲，莫造彼惡行。
Buddha says :
Envy, sleep, greed, which are evil, they force the sufferers going
To the hell, at last they would not be set free for good, therefore,
The people have to give up the three ones, never doing evil again.
世尊說的偈：
世間有五欲，意為第六王，已知內外六，當念盡苦際。
一切行無常，生者必有死，不生則不死，此滅為最樂。
Buddha says:
There are Five Desires on the earth, another one: consciousness
Which is the Sixth King. If you are completely aware of the inner
And outer king, the present mind is all sufferings. All formations
Are impermanence, birth leads to death. No birth means no death,
The disappearance of no birth being the most cheerful and joyful.
難陀說的偈：
人生不足貴，天壽盡亦喪，地獄痛酸苦，唯有涅槃樂。
Master Nantuo says:
Life is not precious, the life span is disappeared, the heaviest sufferings and troubles
Coming from the hell, so the most cheerful and joyful merely from Nirvana.
問：欲修何法，即得解脫？
答：唯有頓悟一門，即得解脫。
問：云何頓悟？
答：頓者，頓除妄念。悟者，悟無所得。
Someone asked :
What dharma would be practiced to free myself from worldly worries promptly ?
Master Dazhu answered:
The only way getting rid of shackles means coming to a sudden realization
What is to extricate myself ? The sudden moment means getting rid of your
Minds, the realization means understanding to attain nothing. Do you see it?

禪宗的禪：「不立文字，教外別傳，直指人心，見性成佛。」
Dhyana said:
Don』t set up the wordage supplementary to deliver a surmon after teaching
Direct to the will of people to witness the Dharmakaya attains Buddhahood.
要理解『緣起性空』話，彌勒菩薩說的偈：「有分別是識，
無分別是智。依識染，依智淨。染有生死，淨無諸佛。」
As there is difference which means consciousness,
If there is no difference, it means Prajna Paramita
Following consciousness is dirty, following prjana
Is pureness. There is life and death to the dirty,and
Yet there are no names of the Buddhas to the purity.

我本求心心自持，求心不得待心知。
佛性不從心外得，心生便是罪生時。
我本求心不求佛，了知三界空無物。
若欲求佛但求心，只這心心心是佛。
I hope I could find out mind that is from my heart,
If I am not looking for mind, my heart still touch it.
Touching Buddhata is not out of heart, mind is evil
Yet in fact I want to look for mind, not for Buddha,
And nowadays I have known that there is nothing
In Three World which is empty, empty, and empty
Whether I found out Buddha and mind, my mind,
My spirit and my soul will be from my Buddhata.
無心無可得，說得不名法。若了心非心，始解心心法。
彌遮迦尊者
There being no mind, it doesn』t come by, its coming by is not dharma.
Experiecing mind is not mind, and yet you understand heart and soul
我已無我故，汝須見我我。汝若師我故，知我非我我。
羅睺羅尊者。
I have not had me in my mind, you should see it is I who am empty.
If you want to learn from me , you 』d feel I haven』t been me so far.
非法亦非心，無心亦無法。說是心法時，是法非心法。
商那和修尊者
It is not dharma or mind. There is no dharma or mind.
While dharma is talked, it is neither dharma nor mind .
心自本來心，本心非有法。有法有本心，非心非本法。
優波毱多尊者。
Mind is from heart itself, there is no dharma in heart.
Whether there is dharma and mind in it, they are not.
我本來茲土，傳法救迷情。一花開五葉，結果自然成。
達摩祖師
As I am from this land, I』d wake up the puzzled people to teach Dharma .
And while a flower with five leaves comes out, it will grow up naturally.
2006-2-13
諸行無常，是生滅法。生滅滅已，寂滅為樂。
All formations are impermanence, so they are dharma of production and
Destruction. After the dharma are gone, then this kind of quietude is joy.
世尊說的偈：
我常說空法，遠離于斷常，生死如幻夢，而彼業不壞。
虛空及涅槃，滅二亦如是。愚夫作忘想，諸聖離有無。
世尊偈曰
Buddha says:
I always mention void, it is far away from non-existence.
Life and death is just like a dream, yet its karma is never
Ruined. Void and Nirvana, both of them are gone and in
Fact are never ruined. The fools see them as their desires,
The sages are far away from existence and non-existence.
2006-2-18
The Famous and Popular Sayings By a Buddhist monk Fa Rong
Translation One
Where there are just minds in your head,
They come from the non-heart.
Whenever and wherever there is non-heart,
There are only minds without it
Talking directly of the name and substance
Is better than doing wrong of them.
Nowadays talking about non-heart is not
Different from minds in the head .
Translation Two
While just using the soul, just non-heart is
being used,
While just using non-heart, using it always disappears.
Talking directly about the name and substance
is much
More better than talking wrongly about them.It is true.
Nowadays talking about non-heart is the same
as soul.
恰恰用心時，恰恰無心用。
無心恰恰用，常用恰恰無。
曲譚名相勞，直說無繁重。
今說無心處，不與有心殊。

A capful of winds rising, mind has trees swinging to and fro. Clouds
Drifting, dusts come to mental power. If you have knowledge of the
Present things, it will ignore the nature of your consciousness. All
Dharmas are soul-light, all the conditions are known by consciousness
Actually there are neither fools nor sages, only present mind known.
龍濟紹修禪師：
風動心搖樹，云生性起塵。
若明今日事，昧卻本來人。
萬法是心光，諸緣唯性曉。
本無迷悟人，只要今日了。
The Famous And Popular Gatha
by Bodhisattva ShanHui
You are still asleep and get up with Buddha nights and days forever,
Together with whom sitting down, standing up, speaking, not talking,
Living in, you are completely along with him, just as your body and
Your shadow .If you are sure where Buddha is, it is the spoken man.
夜夜抱佛眠，朝朝還共起。
起坐鎮相隨，語默同居止。
纖毫不相離，如身影相似。
欲識佛去處，只這語者是。

With the hoe grasped in his empty hands,
His hiking is as if his riding on the buffalo.
And when a man walks across the bridge,
The bridge is flowing, yet the water isn』t.

The Famous And Popular Gatha By Master Sheng Xiu
Your body is just like a Bo Tree , your heart is just like a bright mirror table.
You have to whisk it so hard hourly, yet there must be no dust on the mirror.
Note: Bo tree is a pipal .
身是菩提樹，心如明鏡台。時時勤拂拭，莫使惹塵埃。
The Famous And Popular Gatha By The Sixth Sect Hui Neng
In nature there is no tree for Bodhi , the bright-mirror is not the table, either.
In nature there is nothing at all, anywhere is there dust which makes you sad?
菩提本無樹，明鏡亦非台。本來無一物，何處惹塵埃。
The Famous Gatha By The Sixth Sect Hui Neng
Sitting, not falling in sleep while being born
Falling in sleep, not sitting while being dead
Your body is just the utensil of a foul bone,
Why are you busy with its failure or success ?
生來坐不臥，死去臥不坐。
原是臭骨頭，何為立功過？The Famous Gatha by a Buddhist monk Bao Zhang
In nature there is no life or death,
Showing up life and death nowadays .
And yet I have to live in my heart,
The second body will be here again
本來無生死，今亦示生死。
我得去住心，他生複來此。
The Gatha translated by Wang Lushi

Man and Dharma are both pure,
Good and Evil are forgotten
Your direct heart is true indeed,
Bodhi is a rite in your heart.
( Bo is just a Buddhist rite.)
人法雙淨，善惡兩忘
直心真實，菩提道場。

The Famous Gatha By Monk Zhi Chei
My keeping to impermanence mood,
Buddha shows up imperishable nature.
He who does not know ways is as if
He is picking up gravels in spring pools
Nowadays I』m not working hard at it
And yet Buddhata is really at present.
It is not Master who teaches it to me,
As yet I have gotten nothing at all.
因守無常心，佛演有常性。
不知方便者，猶春池拾礫。
我今不施功，佛性而現前。
非師相授與，我亦無所得。

The Famous Gatha By Monk Tao Wu
Purity and immorality live together
Water and waves have the same form.
Touching circumstances is confused,
Otherwise going home is greatly forgot
Yet the three worlds are equal in fact,
Which of them are quite pure in nature.
There is no mind while facing states,
Which means Buddha is felt and seen
垢淨共住，水波同體。
觸境迷著，浩然忘歸。
三世平等，本來清淨。
一念不起，即見佛心。
Wo Lun said:
Wo Lun has many tricks, which cut off hundreds of desires.
There is no mind facing states, Bo is growing up each day.
Hui Neng said:
Hui Neng has no tricks, not cutting off hundred of desires
There are minds facing states, so how Bo grows up one day ?
臥輪有伎倆，能斷百思想對境心不起，菩提日日長。
慧能無伎倆，不斷百思想。對境心數起，菩提怎麼長？

Truth says nothing but Heart, the lotus seeds of your heart

The bee is not willing to fly out of the empty gate,
That is so foolish, her rushing out of the window.
She is flying in wasted papers in a hundred years,
When will she awaken up from it ? no one knows.
空門不肯出，投窗也大癡。
百年鑽故紙，何日出頭時

The gagha for the advice of uttering
the name of Amitabha
By Great Master Shan Tao
Soon, with wrinkled skin and white hair,
And look, you are at old age doddering
Since there are jade and golden piled up
Round your home, which is hard to avoid
Your being older, disabled and ill.In spit
Of your having a thousand kinds of joys
Transience will come to visit you at last.
So there is the sole short way to practice
Buddhist rules, which is just an uttering
Of the name of Amitabha a day and a night .
漸漸雞皮鶴髮，看看行步龍鍾。
假饒金玉滿堂，難免衰殘老病。
任爾千般快樂，無常終是到來。
唯有徑路修行，但念阿彌陀佛
In 4 Sep, 2004
The Gagha Says:
You take a view of who the person is and what thing the mind is
In fact this should not be found out. Yet spring is still ongoing.
When one hundred of flowers are already fallen.
Mountains still
Stand high, oh , water in them are still deep。That
is wonderful.
偈曰：
觀是何人心何物，本來這個不須尋。
百花落盡春無盡，山自高兮水自深。
農歷二〇〇六年二月初五
A message of praise says:
It is I who am blubbering while being in a dreaming,
It is not I who am smiling while being in a wake-up.
Well, why, where there is greed, hatred and stupidity,
Then it is just time for you to take a view of yourself
頌曰：
夢時有我哭，醒時無我笑。
貪嗔癡何在，正好自觀照。
Amessage of praise says :
Gold is as valuable as Buddhadharma, the Buddhist doctrines
Is a lot more precious than gold. When you would like to look
For it, it is not being attained, at this time, I』d show you peace. .
頌曰：
黃金貴似佛法，佛法貴似黃金。
覓時了不可得，吾已與汝安心。
A message of praise says :
Oh, there is nothing at all, why, what things make a thief
Coming in.Even though there are a lot of treasures, there is
Only the empty room which is left, after thievery of them.
頌曰：
本來無一物，何事惹賊入。
縱使多珍寶，劫去還空室。
A message of praise says :

Yet when secret of void is mentioned, no one has
Known about it . Those who are seeking out The
Way have to be laugh at, for they have doubt of
Consciousness in the head being right or wrong.

最平常是最神奇，說出懸空人不知。
好笑紛紛求道者，意中疑是又疑非。

頌曰：
舍內分明有個人，無端答應自相親。
扣門借宿非他也，爾我原來是一身。
農歷二〇〇六年二月初五
Poem says：
There is no word which exists in Buddhadharma from West.
If you want to understand it, only it is you who work hard
At mind and consciousness.The right Dharma exists in gaining
A thorough understanding of esoteric Buddhist teachings.
The 「barge of mercy」 ferries that all the miserable and foolish
People from a sea of bitterness to the world of bliss.okay.
詩曰：
佛法西來一字無
全憑心意用功夫
眼藏正法拈花笑
苦海慈航化俗愚
A man regards his body as nature, which has minds as a stick of power.
There is right nature which shouldn』t have gotten minds falling wrong .
Yet the minds being not correct will kill the nature. If you are not away
From the mistake above, why to say it is lazy for you to look yourself in
A mirror. Not uttering The Diamond Sutra has the Bodhisattva quite homesick.
寒山詩曰：
人以身為本，本以心為柄。本在心莫邪，心邪喪本命。
未能免此殃，何言懶照鏡。不念金剛經，卻令菩薩病。
Vanity is just a huge house , which is a mother to whom Prajna gives birth.
The body is of ubiquitous supernatural power, the heart is itself a free king
Finally, all that exist will be destroyed. While understanding it, you are far
Away from being impermanence promptly . Where being faced with scene
and conditions, it is important being soft is always superior to being hard.
楚石詩曰：
虛空一大宅，般若所生娘。身是神通藏，心為自在王。
千般歸有壞，一悟出無常。對境逢緣處，惟柔可勝剛。
There are billions and billions of the worldly people. whose
Faces are not quite alike.If you want to know why, here is a
Message to be sent: Because they always keep their general
Ideas. At the same time they regard the wrong ideas as the
Right ones much more often. The only thing to be done is
That you』d practice Buddhist, not discussible of the others.
拾得詩曰：
世人億萬人，面孔不相似。借問何因緣，致令遣如此，
各持一般見，互說非兼是。但自修己身，不要言他己。
All creatures on earth is like a wonderful painting which is
Right similar.Direct to their heart and soul, which is difficult
To be described, from which all creatures and all the Buddha
Come. Earth , lands , mountains ,rivers, all are just yourself.
楚石詩曰：
世人妙丹青，傳相無不似。指點方寸間，難描在于此。
眾生所流出，諸佛只者是。大地于山河，頭頭皆自己。
Minds for people are just like their faces which look a bit similar.
If they are regarded similar, the same is not true. Is it necessary to
Mention you and me ? Don』t regarded right as wrong, at the same
Time,wrong as right,either.For the people, the reason takes long to
Succeed in reaching and understanding, how precious non-self is.
石樹詩曰：
人心如面焉，亦有說相似。相似則非真，而況言彼此。
毋以是為非，勿以非作是。理長能服人，所貴在無己。
Fools have a flashy mind which comes and goes uncounted. Everlasting
Fatal calamity is always from samsara to samsara ,The resource of which
Is just in the darkness. Indeed they have no rest in order to be greedy of
Wealth , the long evils completely done by themselves. If you wants to
Know their roots, it is just like the shadow of the bodies. Understanding.
楚石詩曰：
人心剎那間，生滅不可紀。歷劫受輪迴，無明為種子。
貪財殊未歇，長惡何由己。若欲識其源，如身影相似。
Three Worlds is just like a circling wheel, floating lives being
Right like flowing stream. My God, there are so many kinds
Of the simple and folly, They are greedy of birth, never being
Aware of death.You have to have a stare at a dropping of dew
In the morning that has a little bit time to leave. Approaching.
拾得詩曰：
三界如轉輪，浮生若流水。蠢蠢諸品類，
貪生不覺死。汝看朝垂露，能得幾時子。
Rain is turned into snow when it is pretty cold.
Ice is turned into water when it is sunny. Birth
Consists of Four Resources, Death means the
Six consciousness which is far away from the
Body. And yet how long the lives for human
Will last, Buddhadharma has known by a few.
楚石詩曰：
天寒雨作雪，日暖冰為水。四大合而生，
六塵離即死。人壽能幾何，佛法無多子。
Life is just in floating dusts exactly like fish swim in the flowing water.
If he sank into water, a person would be death. And yet if fish came up
To the lands it would be death. If you had a quiet look at dust or water,
You would feel where the roots to birth and death are? Do you tell me it.
石樹詩曰：
人生在浮塵，魚命托流水。人墜水亡生，
魚入塵即死。靜看塵水中。生死沒些子。
I live alone in the mountains where no one knows me.
Still there are calmness and quietness in white clouds.
我居山，勿人識。白云中，常寂寂。(寒山詩)
I have to surprise all creatures have got the karma and mind out.
Please force them back into light which is always calm and quiet.
咄眾生，弄業識。請回光，本空寂。(楚石詩)
Glance at green hills and mountains where clouds circle your minds
At the same time the clouds are free, the wisdom is still calm , quiet.
看青山，云轉識。云自閒，智自寂。(石樹詩)

The Epigraph Of Confidence By Ceng Can
信心銘(僧璨作)
The Abstract Way is not quite difficulty, of which the choice is barely satisfying. Hope you should not love or hate it, it is perfect to understand it. If you had a little bit errors of its insight, just like Heaven is separated from Earth. If The Way is showed at present, there is neither success nor failure. Success is against failure, which is just the ill-mind. It is not mysterious theory. It is in vain for you to sit still and quiet. The Perfect Way is the same as vanity, which is neither more nor less, it is just the reason why you want to gain it or give it up, therefore, you should gain no insight into it. @ Don』t seek after the condition from existence, nor after unfeeling from emptiness, which is natural to be out of sight with a general kind of soul. Motion to calmness means calmness to motion. The two sides won』t come to a stop, while you are merely aware of one side. If one side had not been known, the two sides should have failed. It is from void to void that you seek after being or non-being. More words are not suitable to more thoughts. Wherever there are no words or thoughts, it is a direct rout to approach to The Way. @No errors or dharma, no sense or mind. Mind is always far away from a state of it, the state of mind is almost far away from the mind. The state comes from the state of mind , the mind comes from the mind of state. If you are still aware of the mind and the state, they are really empty for good. As soon as you feel void the same as the two, void includes all. Not seen, the spirit and substance are not aside ? The Way is always wide and wide, not easy or difficulty. The simple and folly have unclear ideas, which are sometimes quick, sometimes slow. @ It is a wrong road that you take hold of it is not proper. While giving it up, the body of The Way doesn』t exist in it. When your nature is always with The Way, You are set free from worldly troubles. And yet when the mind fights against the nature, you are unaware and absent-minded. Don』t annoy your spirit and there should be no differences between being close or unfriendly. If you wanted to gain One Yana, you should not hate Six Dusts, which are not disliked, you are aware and conscious. The wise is barely a doer for good and the simple is always a binder of himself. @The dharma is never different one, which you have a desire to like. Isn』t it an extremely huge fault while your mind making use of your mind ? When you are a fan of birth and puzzled, understanding is neither good nor bad. Meanwhile you have to deeply think over all which has two sides. Why work hard to grasp rosy dreams and empty flowers ? At once you ought to give up success and failure, right and wrong .Your eyes are not open and lots of dreams are out of sight promptly. The mental power being the same , ten thousand of dharmas are the same ,too. @ The nature of the Truth is actually mystic, it lies in how you forget the conditions. Looking through ten thousand of dharmas together, which is still back to the nature finally once again. Looking over it, it is why they have been out of sight, nothing will be taken for example. There is no movement in stopping movement and there is no stop in a stop to movement, neither of which come to an existence, well, why and where the existence is ? There is no rules to be a last seeker of them. Where there is an equal and calm soul, nothing which will be done come to a stop. When a single doubt is kept completely pure with direct and correct beliefs @ There is no doubts to be left at all, which will not be able to have been remembered anymore. Empty and empty light always is a shiner of itself , barely bothering the mental power of yours. It is pretty unthinkable, at the same time, it is quite difficulty for you to make use of the knowledge in judging it. The unconditioned, unchanging reality and dharmakaya is neither the other nor himself, which you want so much to be the same as, only saying they are not two. The not-two which is the same always includes all for ever The wise around the ten directions have all come into this temple of Buddha. The temple isnot kept long, one mind being ten thousand years. However, the temple is just here or not here, the ten directions are still in first sight. The minimum one is just the same as the maximum one, completely forgetting its state, meanwhile, the maximum one is right the minimum one, not seeing its sides and appearances. Being is just non-being, and yet non-being is right being If not so, it is not necessary for you to have hold of it. Because one is all , and all is one. As long as it is like this, why think it is endless ? Confidence is never two, two is never confidence The mentioned words are far away from The Way ,which neither is gone nor will be back here..@
至道無難，唯嫌揀擇。但莫憎愛，洞然明白。
毫釐有差，天地懸隔。欲得現前，莫存順逆，
違順相爭，是為心病。不是玄旨，徒勞念靜。
圓同太虛，無欠無余。良由取舍，所以不如。
莫逐有緣，勿住空忍。一種平懷，泯然自盡。
止動歸止，止更彌動。唯滯兩邊，寧知一種。
一種不通，兩處失功。遣有沒有，從空背空。
多言多慮，轉不相應。絕言絕慮，無處不通。
歸根得旨，隨照失宗。須臾返照，勝卻前空。
前空轉變，皆由忘見。不用求真，唯須息見。
二見不住，慎莫追尋。才有是非，紛然失心。
二由一有，一亦莫守。一心不生，萬法無咎。
無咎無法，不生不心。能隨境滅,境逐能沉。
境由能境，能由境能。欲知兩段，元是一空。
一空同兩，齊含萬象。不見精粗，寧有偏黨。
大道體寬，無易無難。小見狐疑，轉急轉遲。
執之失度，必入邪路。放之自然，體無去住。
任性合道，逍遙絕惱。系念乖真，昏沉不好。
不好勞神，何用疏親。欲取一乘，勿惡六塵。
六塵不惡，還同正覺。智者無為，愚人自縛。
法無異法，妄自愛著。將心用心，豈非大錯。
迷生寂亂，悟無好惡。一切二邊，良由斟酌。
夢幻虛華，何勞把捉。得失是非，一時放卻。
眼若不寐，諸夢自除。心若不異，萬法一如。
一如體玄，兀爾妄緣。萬法齊觀，復歸自然。
泯其所以，不可方比。止動無動，動止無止。
兩即不成，亦何有爾。究竟窮極，不存軌則。
契心平等，所作俱息。狐疑盡淨，正信調直
。
一切不留，無可記憶。虛明自照，不勞心力。
非思量處，識情難測。真如法界，無他無自。
要急相應，唯言不二。不二皆同，無不包容。
十方智者，皆入此宗。宗非促延，一念萬年。
無在不在，十方目前。極小同大，忘絕境界。
極大同小，不見邊表。有即是無，無即是有。
若不如此，必不須守。一即一切，一切即一。
但能如是，何慮不畢。信心不二，不二信心。
言語道斷，非去來今。

The Epigraph Of Heart-king
心王銘(傅翁作)
Being an inspector of heart, which is a void-king, it is mysterious, wonderful and difficulty to be predicted; It has no forms or phenomena, It has the most supernatural power which could destroy one thousand of disasters, gaining ten thousand of moralities, its nature being empty, it is displaying its function for laws; you observe it has no forms, and you call it which has a voice, as a general for great dharma, conscientious discipline giving sutras out, just as there is some salted-smell in water, just as there is transparent glue in the matters. The salt and glue have existed in the water and matters, but are not observed.@
觀心空王，玄妙難測。無形無相，有大神力。
能滅千災，成就萬德。體性虛空，能施法則。
觀之無形，呼之有聲。為大法將，心戒傳經。
水中鹽味，色里膠清，決定是有，不見其形。
Such is the heart-king, who is alive in the body, going out and coming in, touching formation with mood, being quite free, his action being successful. The knowledge of spiritual reality means the knowledge of Buddha reality. The mental power is Buddha, Buddha is the mental power. Whenever there is an utterance of Buddha heart, Buddha heart is always uttering Buddha. If you want to be Buddha earlier, you have to discipline yourself with conscience discipline. Purging the heart of sin with pure discipline, the heart is just Buddha.@
心王亦爾，身內居停。面門出入，應物隨情。
自在無礙，所作皆成。了本識心，識心見佛。
是心是佛，是佛是心。念念佛心，佛心念佛。
欲得早成，戒心自律。淨律淨心，心即是佛。
Except for this heart-king, there is no another Buddha. If you want to be Buddha, your soul should not be polluted by one thing. Although conscience is empty, greed and hatred are really true. Coming into this gate, sitting still and calm, becoming Buddha ,reaching that beach and gaining Prajna Paramita. The real scholar who is in envy of The Way could inspect and practice your mind in person, who understands Buddha being inside the soul, never seeking after him outside it. Just the heart , just Buddha; Departing Buddha, it is not the heart.@
除此心王，更無別佛。欲求成佛，莫染一物。
心性雖空，貪嗔體實。入此法門，端坐成佛。
到彼岸已，得波羅蜜。慕道真士，自觀自心。
知佛在內，不向外尋。即心即佛，離佛非心。
The bright mental power touches Buddha and the understanding comes to a mind. Out of the mental power, it is not Buddha; Off Buddha, it is not the mental power. It is not Buddha who is not able to be foreseen, who has no ability to do everything. If you had taken hold of void and loneliness , your soul would still flit here forever. There are a lot of Bodhisattvas and Buddhas who would not calm down the mind like that. Those Bodhisattvas who are pretty bright should be aware of the mysterious sound. The body and mind and soul is beautifully wonderful, it is no use improving them. Thus the wise is free and peaceful @
心明識佛，曉了識心。離心非佛，離佛非心。
非佛莫測，無所堪任。執空滯寂，于此漂沉。
諸佛菩薩，非此安心。明心大士，悟此玄音。
身心性妙，用無更改。是故智者，放心自在。
Don』t mention void-king, nor chat conscience. The mind makes your body doing right or evil, which is neither being nor non-being, sometimes hidden, sometimes visible. The conscience is far away from void, which might be holy or foolish. So an advice for you to carefully prevent your mind from doing anything . Doing a little bit evil just one moment, your soul should still flit here. Pure and quiet morality is like ten thousand of worldly gold. There is dharma-pitaka for Prajna Paramita in your body. The dharmaratna for inactivity is neither easy nor deep. A lot of Bodhisattvas and Buddhas have understood the mind. If you have conditions to meet with it, which is neither gone nor coming up to now.@
莫言心王，空言體性。能使色身，作邪作正。
非有非無，隱顯不定。心性離空，能凡能聖。
是故相勸，好自防慎。剎那造作，還復漂沉。
清淨心智，如世萬金。般若法藏，並在身心。
無為法寶，非淺非深。諸佛菩薩，了此本心。
有緣遇者，非去來今。
