Master Yongjue's Praise
昨非菴弟子鄭瑄
Disciple Zheng Xuan of the Zuofei Hermitage
這老阿師。壽昌嫡血。拙若醜石。硬同頑鐵。大弘正中妙挾之旨。克紹前徽。遠繼通霄路上之蹤。直還原轍。一枝麈尾。掃開百世迷雲。七尺藤條。指出千山晧月。禪教律化作一家。儒釋道同歸點雪。五百年來僅此人。是聖是凡休浪說。
This old master, the true heir of Shouchang, is as unpolished as a rough stone and as firm as stubborn iron. He greatly propagated the profound principle of the Middle Way, carrying forward the legacy of his predecessors. Following the distant path of the Tongxiao lineage, he returned directly to the original track. With a single whisk, he swept away the clouds of delusion that have obscured the world for centuries. With a seven-foot staff, he pointed out the bright moon over a thousand mountains. Chan, doctrine, and discipline were harmonized into one; Confucianism, Buddhism, and Daoism all returned to a single point of clarity. In five hundred years, there has been only this one person. Whether he is a sage or an ordinary being—do not speak carelessly.
