The supreme principles of our school are most wondrous,
You must know thoroughly the rolling and unrolling, life and death.
Facing the moment, there is a majestic, powerful presence,
When host and guest present themselves in giving and taking.
Not unlike the golden-winged bird that devours dragons,
Meeting its sharp beak, even harder to withstand.
The ready-made case was decided by Muzhou,
At the four gates there is a path—Zhaozhou's opportunity.
Yangshan planting his shovel still depended on the ground,
How many know Yunmen's pivotal mechanism?
Jingqing's loss of advantage came from many clever moves,
At Gaoting, seeing off a guest, they gaze at the parting fork.
The inherent family style follows the seasons,
Jiashan's dining hall head obtained a good deal.
Only Longtan blowing out the candle,
Deshan's earnest truth leaves no further doubt.
This is no idle, false talk,
Scolding the Buddha and ancestors is known throughout the world.
Since ancient times, the guiding principles are hard to conceal,
Now you must focus your gaze and peer directly.
Just saying you remember the ordinary thoroughly,
But when you grasp it, your eyes are like an owl's.
When encountering an opponent, you must roar mightily,
Don't act like a wild wolf, fox, or rabbit.
Sizha falling into the water, don't exhale your breath,
Secretly chanting, whose profound wisdom can perceive him?
Lifting the guiding principles, all share the same wind,
Watch well Yunmen's glance, appraisal, and exclamation.
