世上人人緫爱药,个个元来寻不着。
也道用铅不用铅,及至用铅还只错。
寻不着,莫生嗔,都为黄芽不得真。
有信有行堪分付,财色不染是真人。
潜拯济,莫彰露,本觅长生却短祚。
慎勿将身游贵门,医卜经求且闲处。
未能隐,没闲处,且去经求无病药,长生乐道何忧虑。
铅为君,汞为臣,火为使者,赤血将军,守阴守阳,制御伏药,药成先用点水银。
水银被点堪服饵,鬼官不追人不死。
世世喧喧若得之,闲处经求莫干贵。
心口诀,手眼传,制伏只在黄芽边。
心口不决,手眼不传,耽荒酒色,与道无缘。

世上人人都爱丹药,
但个个原本都寻找不到。
也说着用铅又不用铅的话,
等到真用铅时还是只犯错。
寻找不到,不要生气嗔怪,
都是因为没得到真正的黄芽。
有信念有修行的人才可托付,
不沾染财色的人才是真人。
暗中救助他人,不要张扬显露,
本想寻求长生反而折损寿命。
千万不要让自己周旋于权贵之门,
行医占卜,在清静处谋生。
如果不能完全隐居,没有清静之地,
那就去寻求治愈疾病的药,长生乐道还有什么忧虑?
铅是君药,汞是臣药,
火是使者,是赤血将军。
守护阴阳,制御降伏药物。
丹药炼成后先用来点化水银。
水银被点化后就可以服食。
鬼差不来追索,人就不会死。
在这喧闹的世间如果得到了它,
就在清静处谋求,不要攀附权贵。
心传的口诀,手眼的传授,
制伏药物的关键就在黄芽附近。
心中口诀不决断,手眼之法不传授,
沉溺于酒色,就与大道无缘。
Everyone in the world loves the elixir,
Yet each originally fails to find it.
They also speak of using lead and not using lead,
But when they do use lead, it's still just a mistake.
If you cannot find it, do not grow angry,
It's all because the Yellow Sprout is not truly grasped.
Those with faith and practice can be entrusted,
One unstained by wealth and lust is a true person.
Secretly aid others, do not show off,
Seeking longevity but ending with a short life.
Be careful not to frequent noble gates,
Practice medicine and divination in seclusion.
If unable to hide completely, without a quiet place,
Then go seek the medicine of no illness; what worry in longevity and joyful pursuit of the Way?
Lead is the sovereign, mercury the minister,
Fire is the envoy, the Crimson Blood General.
Guard yin and yang, control and subdue the medicine.
Once the medicine is made, first use it to treat mercury.
Mercury, once treated, can be taken as an elixir.
The ghost officials won't pursue, the person won't die.
If you obtain it in this noisy world,
Seek it in seclusion, avoid involvement with the noble.
The oral formula of the heart, transmitted by hand and eye,
Control and subjugation lie only near the Yellow Sprout.
If the heart's formula is not decisive, hand and eye not transmitted,
Indulging in wine and lust, one has no connection with the Way.
道教炼丹歌诀,融合修行伦理与具体丹法。
它将个人修行视为对抗生命周期衰败的长期战略。
阐述炼丹求长生的要诀与禁忌,强调心性修炼重于外物。
