The Dharma is born in the mind,
And in turn is destroyed by the mind.
Who do life and death come from?
Decide for yourself.
If it is from your own mind,
why do you need others to tell you?All you need to do is work hard,
squeezing blood from iron.
Thread a silken rope throughyour nose.
And fasten yourself to emptiness.
Tie it to the tree of non-action,
to prevent it from collapsing.
Dont acknowledge bandits as your sons,
or you will forget the Dharma and the mind.
Do not allow yourself to be deceived by others.
When the mind appears, it is non-existent,
When the Dharma appears, it ceases.
When the boy and the ox both disappear,
the blue sky is absolutely clear.
All is as round as an autumn moon,
and this and that can no longer be distinguished.
