咸通七载初参道,到处逢言不识言。
心里痴(《五灯会元》作“疑”)团若栲栳,三春不乐止林泉。
忽遇法王毡上坐,便陈疑恳向师前。
师从毡上那伽起(一作“定”),袒膊当胸打一拳。
骇散痴(《五灯会元》作“疑”)团獦狚落,举头看见日初圆。
从兹蹬蹬以碣碣,直至如今常快活。
只闻肚里饱膨脝,更不东西去持钵。

咸通七年我开始参学佛道,
处处听到法语却不解其意。
心中疑团大如栲栳筐,
三个春天都闷闷不乐,止息在林泉。
忽然遇见法王(禅师)在毡上静坐,
我便向他陈述心中疑惑恳求开示。
师父从毡座上如龙般跃起,
袒露胳膊当胸打了我一拳。
惊散了那如獦狚般的顽固疑团,
抬头正见朝阳初升圆满。
从此脚踏实地步步踏实,
直到如今常常快活自在。
只觉肚里饱足充实,
再也不必东西奔走托钵乞食。
In the seventh year of Xiantong, I first sought the Way,
Everywhere I met words but did not understand.
In my heart, a dense ball of doubt like a basket,
For three springs I found no joy, dwelling by woods and springs.
Suddenly I met the Dharma King sitting on a felt mat,
I then presented my doubts earnestly before the master.
The master rose from the felt mat like a naga,
Bared his arm and struck me a blow on the chest.
The dense ball of doubt scattered, fell like a startled beast,
I raised my head and saw the sun just becoming full.
From then on, step by step, firm and steady,
Until now I am always joyful and at ease.
I only hear my belly full and satisfied,
No longer going east or west to hold a begging bowl.
