Content：
The human spirit is fond of purity,
But the mind disturbs it.
The human mind is fond of tranquility,
But desires meddle with it.
Get rid of desires for good.
And the mind will be calm.
Cleanse your mind,
And the spirit will be pure.
Naturally the six desires won’t arise,
The three poisons are destroyed.
Whoever cannot do this
Has not yet cleansed his mind,
His desires are not yet driven out.
Those who have abandoned their desires:
Observe your mind by introspection-
And see there is no mind.
Then observe the body,
Look at yourself from without-
And see there is no body.
Then observe others by glancing out afar-
And see there are no beings.
Once you have realized there three,
You observe emptiness!
Use emptiness to observe emptiness,
And see there is no emptiness.
When even emptiness is no more,
There is no more nonbeing either.
Without even the existence of nonbeing
There is only serenity,
Profound and everlasting.
When serenity dissolves in nothingness-
How could there be desires?
When no desires arise
You have found true tranquility.
In true tranquility,go along with beings;
In true permanence,realize inner nature.
Forever going along,forever tranquil-
This is permanent purity,lasting tranquility.
In purity and tranquility,
Gradually enter the true Tao.
When the true Tao is entered,
It is realized.
Though we speak of “realized,”
Actually there is nothing to attain.
Rather,we speak of realization
When someone begins to transform the myriad beings.
Only who has properly understood this
Is worthy to transmit the sages’Tao.
