行道歌

哈哈本是云中人,非贤非圣一身轻;
尚在识中闻佛法,资粮道中一门生。
若识无证观无止,无止而观识常存;
应观而识具正见,观识之中因缘门。
唯识而识识中识,唯观而观观中观;
观识识观互为助,观识之中中道行。
具足资粮为定道,不歪不邪方是道;
不空不有可见道,不生不灭即证道。
止观双运入中道,中道而行不离道;
次第而行菩提道,圆融诸法我行道。
君在识中见识道,吾在行中见中道;
观止唯识自见道,诸法皆入菩提道。
修证本乃不二法,何须分别识与道;
愿君识中见识道,吾自中道云中行!

Song of Practicing the Bodhi-way

I originally lived in the clouds and felt carefree, being neither a worthy nor saint,.
When I was still in the realm of perception, I heard about Buddhism and became a disciple of the Buddha.
Visions won’t cease if I perceive them without enlightenment, and perception will forever exist if I contemplate it without cessation.
I have such a right view and perceive visions with contemplation, thus I find the door of karma in contemplation and cognition.
Without contemplation cognition is simply cognition, and without cognition contemplation is merely contemplation.
Contemplation and cognition are coadjutant, so I’d practice the middle way between contemplation and cognition.
I’d accumulate enough supplies to settle the Bodhi-way, which is neither warp nor evil.
I’d abandon the bias of non-existent and existent to prove the Bodhi-way, which is neither birth nor death.
I’d practice both the cessation and contemplation to enter into the Middle Way, not deviating from the Bodhi-way.
I’d practice the Bodhi-way step by step, and perfectly digest all teachings of the Buddha.
You only see the way of perception because you are yet in the realm of perception, but I see the Middle Way in my practice of the Bodhi-way.
Neither contemplation nor perception is apart from the mind, therefore all dharma enter into the Bodhi-way.
Practice and enlightenment are essentially the one undivided truth, so there’s no need to tell perception from the Bodhi-way.
I wish you’d find the way during perception; yet I’ll keep the Middle Way and walk in the clouds!
