### 大方廣佛華嚴經頌一百首并序
> Hundred Verses on the Avatamsaka Sutrawith Preface
剎海入微塵，不是一多相即；毫端呈法界，非干小大相容。祗緣法爾如然，所以不容思議。分凡聖，較淺深，大似邀空華結果；埽語言，諱修證，無端禁石女生兒。睹明星而了悟，栽成眼上兩莖眉；遍眾會以敷揚，繪出空中千色彩。然雖今事門頭，覓一塵而無朕；不妨實際理地，炳萬法以齊彰。大哉，絕對待之假名，方矣，泯分滿之殊相。廣則毛孔邊際，等虛空之莫窮；佛則介爾凡心，即真常之妙覺。華乃因果同時，嚴乃能所不二。是以若通若別，可軌可持，十界並遵，三世一轍。然一丸而眾香悉具，飲一滴而諸河頓嘗。普請露柱燈籠，聽取葛藤絡索。
> A billion worlds can fit within a single mote of dust—this is not about the mutual identification of the many and the one. The entire universe can manifest at the tip of a hair—this is not about the interpenetration of the large and the small. It is simply the way of reality, naturally so, beyond thought or conception. To divide the ordinary from the sacred, to compare the shallow and the deep, is like inviting a flower in empty space to bear fruit. To reject words, to shun practice and realization, is like forbidding a child born of stone from being born. Realization upon seeing the morning star is like planting two eyebrows on your eyes. Proclaiming it universally in great assemblies is like painting thousands of colors in the sky. Yet, at the level of phenomenal activity, not a single speck of dust can be found; nonetheless, in the realm of ultimate truth, all phenomena shine forth brilliantly. Great is this name that transcends all opposites! Square is this form that eliminates all distinctions of more or less. Its breadth reaches the limits of a single pore, as vast as boundless space. Its wisdom is the ordinary mind of a single thought, which is directly the true and eternal wonderful awareness. “Flower” means cause and result are simultaneous. “Ornament” means subject and object are non-dual. Thus, whether applied universally or specifically, it can be followed and upheld. All ten realms honor it; all three times follow the same path. When you take one pill, all fragrances are present. When you drink one drop, you taste all rivers at once. So, invite the lamp post and the stone lion to join the tangled vines of words.
世主妙嚴品第一。頌曰萬國衣冠拜冕旒，御筵香染繡羅裘。不觀上苑枝條茂，那信蒼穹雨露周。踏破波濤渾是水，織成縷線漫稱紬。莫嫌山谷泉聲小，大海何嘗擇細流。
> Chapter 1: The Wondrous Adornments of World Rulers. A verse says: Nations in splendid robes bow before the royal crown, At the imperial feast, incense clings to embroidered silk. Without seeing the flourishing branches in the royal garden, Who would believe the vast sky's rain and dew nourish all? Stepping through the waves, you find it's nothing but water; Weaving threads together, you casually call it silk. Do not disdain the mountain stream's gentle sound— The great ocean never refuses a single small current.
如來現相品第二。頌曰眾齒光明遍剎塵，十方雲集主中賓。眉閒足下出還入，極果應知即正因。蓮現何曾離本際，勝音寧復是他人？殷勤聽取伽陀句，白牯狸奴知最親。
> Chapter 2: The Appearance of the Tathagata. Verse: Beams of light from every tooth pervade realms as countless as dust, Hosts and guests gather from the ten directions like clouds. From between the brows and beneath the feet, light emerges and returns; The ultimate fruit, you should know, is itself the true cause. The lotus appears, yet never leaves its fundamental nature; The sublime sound—how could it come from anyone else? Listen carefully to the words of this gatha: White buffaloes and black cats know this most intimately.
普賢三昧品第三。頌曰運水搬柴足可娛，藏身三昧阿誰無。擬求佛手來摩頂，翻昧衣中如意珠。尺鏡遍含空界影，寸雲堪灑剎塵枯。勞他依正同宣偈，喚出滄溟月影孤。
> Thus have I sung: Fetching water, carrying firewood—this is joy enough. Who lacks the samadhi that hides the body within? To seek the Buddha's hand to stroke one's crown, Is to turn away from the wish-fulfilling gem hidden in one's own robe. A small mirror holds the reflections of the whole world; A tiny cloud can sprinkle rain on a billion withered lands. So the sacred realm itself recites these verses with me, Calling forth the lonely moon's reflection on the vast blue sea.
世界成就品第四。頌曰大覺空生海一漚，一漚拈起海全收。休將十事為他事，認卻鬍鬚失卻頭。
> Chapter 4: The Attainment of Worlds. Verses The Great Awakened One sees the ocean of existence as a single bubble; Yet within that bubble, the entire ocean is contained. Do not mistake the ten thousand things for something apart from yourself— For if you cling to the beard, you lose the face.
華藏世界品第五。頌曰鼻孔下垂，眼睛橫布。毛竅玲瓏，皮膚連附。地種無殊，森羅草樹。獅子全威，奚分象兔。欲知華藏莊嚴，不離剎那安住。擬向心外覓玄，昧卻介爾性具。
> Chapter Five: The Adornments of the Flower Treasury World. Hymn: Nostrils hang downward, eyes stretch crosswise. Pores are delicate, skin and flesh connect. The earth-element is no different—dense forests and grasses stand. A lion in full majesty—why distinguish elephant and rabbit? If you wish to know the splendor of the Flower Treasury, It never leaves this very moment’s peaceful abiding. To seek mystery outside the mind Is to lose the nature inherent in this very instant.
毘盧遮那品第六。頌曰閻浮本是輪王地，幾度征誅始定疆。曾聽胡笳月下曲，不須鶴唳亦悲傷。
> Chapter 6: Vairocana. Verse. The Jambu continent was originally the realm of the Wheel-Turning King, After many conquests and campaigns, its borders were finally fixed. They once heard barbarian flutes playing under the moonlight, Yet now, they would be stricken with grief even without the cranes' cries.
如來名號品第七。頌曰十千名號任他呼，那個男兒不丈夫。借問而今說法者，文殊還有幾文殊。
> Chapter 7: The Names of the Tathagata. Verses say: Though ten thousand names are used to call him, Is there a single man who is not a hero? Ask now: this one who preaches the Dharma— Is Manjushri just one, or are there many Manjushris?
四聖諦品第八。頌曰藥病相連頭緒多，一番提起一番訛。無生無量歸無作，大海從來具眾波。
> (The Chapter on the Four Noble Truths, Part Eight: A Hymn says) Medicine and illness are linked in endless strands— Each time they're mentioned, new misinterpretations arise. Beyond arising, beyond measure, all returns to non-doing, For the vast ocean has always contained its many waves.
光明覺品第九。頌曰故園消息斷多秋，夢裹尋思淚未收。驚蟄一聲啼鳥亂，不堪覽鏡倍生愁。
> Chapter 9: The Light of Enlightenment. Verses say: For many autumns, no word has come from my homeland; Even in dreams I search, tears never fully dry. At the start of spring, a startled bird cries out, So chaotic—I can't bear to look in the mirror; it doubles my sorrow.
菩薩問明品第十。頌曰白雪陽春和者稀，弟兄且自協壎篪。華周妻子三年哭，引得齊人盡皺眉。
> Chapter 10: The Bodhisattva's Inquiry on Illumination. Verses say: Like a rare melody too refined for common ears, Siblings, first learn to play the clay and bamboo flutes together. When Hua Zhou's widow mourned for three years, All of Qi frowned, unable to understand her grief.
淨行品第十一。頌曰棒打石人頭，老翁入場屋。憐兒嚼飯未為醜，上大人書勸熟讀。一朝讀到可知禮，錦繡文章充滿腹。
> Chapter 11: The Pure Conduct A stick strikes a stone man's head— an old man enters the arena. A loving mother chewing food for her child is not shameful; she urges her child to study the great writings diligently. Once you study them and understand true propriety, your mind will be filled with elegant, refined thoughts.
賢首品第十二。頌曰認影迷頭歷劫行，狂心歇處鼻分明。神珠拈出隨君用，衣不蠶兮食不耕。
> Chapter 12: The Virtuous Leader. A verse says: Chasing shadows and mistaking the head, you wander through countless ages. But when the frantic mind settles, the nose is right before your eyes. The divine pearl is offered for your use— Clothes not woven by silkworms, food not grown by plowing.
升須彌山頂品第十三。頌曰平地風波浸殺人，漫傳不動又高升。佛身充滿無來去，金屑休教著眼睛。
> Chapter 13: Ascending to the Summit of Mount Sumeru. Verses said: Even on flat ground, storms can drown us— And we pass along tales of stillness and lofty heights. The Buddha’s body fills all, with no coming or going; Do not let specks of gold dust cloud the eye.
須彌頂上偈讚品第十四。頌曰成群作隊弄精魂，破盡家私滅盡門。倡得哩嗹嗹哩曲，大家扶起舊砂盆。
> Chapter 14: Hymns of Praise on Mount Sumeru's Peak. A verse says: Huddled in crowds, they toy with their own spirit, Wasting entire fortunes, destroying their own doors. They sing a strange and scrambled tune, But in the end, they'll right the old sand-basin.
十住品第十五。頌曰瞿曇一指不肯剟，央掘摩羅追不歇。忽然放下手中刀，失卻娘生一頭髮。
> Chapter 15: The Ten Abodes. Verse.A single finger raised, Gautama refused to hurt. Angulimala chased on, unwilling to desert. Then all at once, he laid down his knife. Lost forever, the hair his mother gave him at birth.
梵行品第十六。頌曰打破一桶做一桶，顛仙此話非儱侗。鄱陽大戰定江南，聖皇也賴三軍勇。
> Chapter Sixteen on the Holy Practice. A verse says: If you break one bucket, make it into one bucket — The Recluse's words are not vague or muddled. The battle at Poyang secured the land south of the river; Even the Sage Emperor relied on the courage of his three armies.
初發心功德品第十七。頌曰三際覓心不可得，擬從何處發菩提。東風一夜傳春信，花滿園林泉滿谿。
> Chapter 17: The Merit of the Initial Awakening Mind. Verse: When seeking the mind, past, present, future can't be caught—from where could the awakening mind arise? Yet, one night the east wind brings news of spring, the garden fills with blossoms, streams fill with water.
明法品第十八。頌曰子孝父心寬，臣賢君位安。創業固不易，守成尤自難。車輪鳥翼喻，明月照人寒。
> Chapter 18: The Quality of Clarity. A verse says: When children are filial, a father's heart is at ease. When ministers are worthy, the sovereign's throne is secure. Founding a enterprise is indeed not easy, Preserving its success is especially challenging. Like a carriage wheel or a bird's wing, The bright moon shines, bringing a chill to those beneath it.
升夜摩天宮品第十九。頌曰天名時分地如雲，孔雀鵝王化久聞。特地任公更垂釣，牽翻海底浪紛紜。
> Chapter Nineteen: Ascending to the Palace of the Yama Heaven. Verse: The heaven called "Time-Division" has ground like clouds, Peacocks and swan kings—long known for their transformations. Yet the fisher casts his line in the deep sky, Stirring up chaotic waves across the ocean floor.
夜摩宮中偈讚品第二十。頌曰律呂宮商無別調，都俞喜起聖明時。堯天舜日同欽戴，卻歎巢由總不知。
> Chapter 20: Hymns of Praise in the Yama Palace Notes of the musical scale all form a single melody, Beneath the wise and enlightened rule of a sage monarch. All praise the sun and moon of Yao and Shun's golden age, Yet they sigh that hermits like Chao and You remained unaware.
十行品第二十一。頌曰萬卉莊嚴功德林，鳥啼花落影森森。夜行不許明須到，才出門來草已深。
> Chapter 21: The Ten Practices. Verses. Amid ten thousand blossoms adorns the grove of merit, Birds sing, flowers fall, shadows dense and deep. Traveling in the dark, no light allowed until one arrives— Just as you step outside, the grass has grown deep.
十無盡藏品第二十二。頌曰克家須是破家兒，撒潑黃金似爛泥。餓殺鄧通由命薄，天朝雨露本無私。
> Chapter 22: The Ten Inexhaustible Treasuries. A verse says: To master the house, you must be the child who breaks it— Scattered gold is nothing but mud in the mud. Deng Tong died of starvation—his fate was thin, For Heaven's rain and dew have no favorites.
升兜率天宮品第二十三。頌曰賣盡風流不著錢，桃花如燄柳如煙。笙歌畫舫酣明月，見說今年似舊年。
> Chapter 23: Ascending to the Tushita Heaven Palace
Verses Selling romance completely without need of gold, Peach blossoms like flames, willows like smoke. Lute songs on painted boats revel in bright moonlight, They say this year is just like last year.
兜率宮中偈讚品第二十四。頌曰家醜何勞向外揚，未曾作賊便招贓。邊城多少離家客，刁斗初鳴轉斷腸。
> Chapter 24: Verses of Praise in the Tusita Palace Why air your household shame abroad? You've never stolen, yet you're charged with theft. How many wanderers in border towns, At the first watch's drumbeat, feel their hearts break in grief.
十迴向品第二十五。頌曰水滿長町霞滿天，村中處處起寒煙。耕牛自解尋歸路，不用山童努力牽。
> A town submerged, pink clouds fill the sky, Wisps of chilly smoke in villages rise. The plow ox, knowing its way, heads home on its own— No village boy needs strain to pull it on.
又頌懸梁刺股揣摩成，說得燕王與趙盟。何似當年赤帝子，入關先已縛秦嬰。
> Hanging from a beam and stabbing one’s thigh—refining plans by hard work— He convinced the King of Yan to ally with Zhao. But how does that compare to the Red Emperor’s son of old, Who, upon entering the pass, had already bound the Qin infant?
十地品第二十六。頌曰坤儀厚重德無疆，能載能生直且方。看取四微非異性，不妨十嶽各稱王。伶俐衲，細思量，微塵剎土漚中影，莫負眉閒毫相光。
> Chapter 26: The Ten Grounds. Verse says: The earth is steady and vast,with virtues beyond measure, Carrying all and giving birth to all,straight and square. Observe the four primary elements,yet no separate nature arises. No contradiction that ten mountains each claim their kingship. Clever monks, ponder this carefully: Dust motes and Buddha-lands are but shadows in a bubble— Do not waste the radiant light between your brows.
十定品第二十七。頌曰有出有入非正定，試問剎那有何性？假饒覓見普賢身，依舊重添普眼病。君不見，女子跏趺佛座邊，文殊空把神通震。棄諸陰蓋下方來，缽盂端的元無柄。
> Chapter 27: The Ten Samadhis. Verses say: Coming and going is not true samadhi— Tell me, what nature does a moment have? Even if you seek to see Samantabhadra's form, You'll merely add another ailment to Samantabhadra's eyes. Don't you see? A woman sits in lotus by the Buddha's throne, While Manjushri vainly displays his powers. Abandon all hindrances—come down from above; A bowl truly has no handle from the start.
十通品第二十八。頌曰饑來喫飯困來眠，不用安排信自然。消盡幾多閒日月，止留秋水與長天。
> Hungry, eat. Tired, sleep. No need to plan—just trust the natural way. How many idle days and months have passed away? There remains only autumn water and the endless sky.
十忍品第二十九。頌曰立錐無地並無錐，飲痛吞聲袛自知。忽解白拈閒活計，終朝袖手有餘貲。
> Chapter 29: The Ten Forbearances. Verse: With no place to stand, not even a needle’s tip, Swallowing pain in silence, only you can feel it. But once you grasp the idle craft of the white-robed one, Your sleeves hang empty, yet you have all you need.
阿僧祇品第三十。頌曰介爾心王絕數量，僧祇數量轉分明。微塵法界全成壞，五眼如何算得清。
> Chapter 30: The Boundless Eon This subtle mind-king transcends all measurement, While countless eons become ever clearer. The universe of atoms arises and dissolves— How could the Five Eyes calculate it all?
壽量品第三十一。頌曰黃粱一夢過名關，箇事分明迷悟閒。欲向勝蓮分晝夜，且從極樂問迴還。
> Chapter 31: The Lifetime. In verse: Just like the Millet Dream, chasing fame is a fleeting game, This fundamental matter is clear—yet we're lost in confusion or awakening. If we wish to tell day from night in the Pure Land of Bliss, Then from that Land of Ultimate Bliss, we ask about our return.
又頌蟭螟眉上多巖谷，結冬度夏居堪卜，任憑劫火洞然燒，此地清涼有餘緣。
> Another verse On an eyelash of a tiny insect, there are many valleys and peaks. One could settle there for winter or summer, choosing a good place to live. Even if the fires of the apocalypse raged all around, This place remains cool and pleasant, with abundant tranquility.
諸菩薩住處品第三十二。頌曰色色塵塵盡道場，何勞剜肉別成瘡。賺他無數癡男女，東走西馳昧故鄉。
> Chapter 32: The Abodes of the Bodhisattvas - Verses Every color, every speck of dust, is itself a sacred place of practice— Why trouble yourself to carve flesh and create new wounds? Countless foolish men and women have been deceived, Rushing east and west, oblivious to their own true home.
佛不思議法品第三十三。頌曰壞叶惠，怪叶貴，卦叶至。一念緣起無生，九界空華敗壞。多年枯木爛藤，慣會成精作怪。正許擬議思量，不許占龜買卦。
> Chapter 33: The Inconceivable Nature of the Buddha. Verse. Broken rhymes with "hui," strange with "gui," and divination with "zhi." A single thought arises from conditions, yet nothing is truly born; The nine realms are like phantom flowers in space—empty and destined to decay. Old dead wood and rotting vines Often become goblins and demons. You are permitted to ponder and reflect, But not to consult tortoise shells or cast hexagrams.
如來十身相海品第三十四。頌曰佛說非身是大身，百花枝上露全春。癡人猶計九十七，獨勝尋常四八倫。
> Chapter 34: The Ten Vast Bodies of the Tathagata — Verse The Buddha said: "No body is the great body," Like dewdrops sparkling on a hundred blossoms—full of spring. Fools still cling to ninety-seven marks, But only one flawless nature surpasses even the thirty-two perfect signs.
如來隨好光明功德品第三十五。頌曰千輻輪光圓滿王，獄中菩薩鼻昂藏。三重十地雖圓頓，鈍置人閒放逸郎。
> Chapter 35: The Auspicious Marks and Radiant Virtues of the Tathagata. Verse: The perfect light of the thousand-spoked wheel shines as king of radiance, The Bodhisattvas in hell raise their heads, their dignity unbowed. The three levels of the ten grounds, though complete and sudden, Seem wasted on those who, in the world below, indulge in careless ease.
普賢行品第三十六。頌曰一念無瞋即普賢，說時容易用時難。世閒多少弄潮客，不解撐船淺水灘。
> A single thought free from anger is Samantabhadra's way— Easy to talk about, hard to practice every day. How many in this world play in the tides of life, Yet do not know how to steer their boat in shallow waters.
如來出現品第三十七。頌曰遍界本無藏跡地，家親無故常為祟。眉閒毫相播精靈，口裏光明作魑魅。分明賣弄屋中金，帶累兒孫向外覷。假饒入得手中來，明朝不是今朝事。
> Chapter 37: The Manifestation of the Tathagata. A verse says: Throughout the realm, no trace of origin is found, Yet family and kin become haunting spirits, always around. Between the brows, a subtle mark spreads its magic might; From the mouth, a radiant glow turns into demon's light. Clearly, the gold within the house is shown and teased, Leading children and grandchildren to seek outside, ill at ease. Even if you manage to grasp it in your hand, Tomorrow's dawn will not be what today's world has planned.
離世閒品第三十八。頌曰花枝隨處短長，春色元無高下。觸著一孔毫毛，惹得通身害怕。縱然缾瀉雲興，終難說盡者話。蓮花本自水生，不用描空作畫。
> Chapter 38: Transcending the Mundane. A Poem: Flowers bloom on branches long and short— Spring's colors have no high or low. Touch but a single hair, And the whole body trembles with fear. Even if clouds pour from a vase, Such words can never be fully spoken. The lotus naturally grows from water— No need to paint emptiness.
入法界品第三十九。頌曰蓋害丐皆叶記，外叶偽。師子頻申三昧，從來何曾覆蓋。坐在水中渴死，袛因畏溺為害。自從認得郎君，更不沿途乞丐。兔子角上翻身，烏龜毛裏作會。憑他水盡山窮，寸步不居門外。
> Chapter 39: Entering the Dharma Realm. Verse:Notes: Harm, beggars, deception. The Lion’s Roar Samadhi— Has it ever been hidden? Yet sitting in water we die of thirst, Because we fear drowning and seek cover. Since recognizing the Beloved, We no longer beg along the road. Turning over on a rabbit’s horn, Making sense in a turtle’s fur. No matter if waters run dry or mountains end, We never stop at the doorway—not even a step.
普賢行願品。頌曰十大願王，導歸極樂。末後牢關，和盤直拓。擬議躊躇，千錯萬錯。說性譚心，無繩自縛。親睹如來無量光，方知此語非嬉謔。寄語參玄學語流，休將向上閒穿鑿。
> The Practices and Vows of Samantabhadra Bodhisattva, Verses The Ten Great Vows lead us to the Pure Land. In the final, crucial gate, everything is laid out plainly. To hesitate or second-guess brings a thousand mistakes. To argue about essence and mind is to bind oneself without a rope. Only by personally seeing the Infinite Light of the Tathagata Can one know these words are not mere jest. A message for those who study Zen and philosophy: Stop your idle, convoluted speculations about the ultimate.
福城東莊嚴幢娑羅林文殊師利菩薩。頌曰眾生住地無明，諸佛根本實智。從來但一月真，云何有是非是。既發無上菩提，豈更迷名失義。歷盡煙水百城，寸步不曾相離。
> In the east of the City of Blessings, in the Sarala Grove of Adornment, the Bodhisattva Manjushri said in verse: Sentient beings dwell in the ground of ignorance, While Buddhas abide in fundamental, true wisdom. From the start, there’s only one true moon— Why speak of “this” or “that”? Once you’ve awakened the supreme aspiration for enlightenment, How could you still be lost in names and miss the meaning? Travel through a hundred cities of mist and stream, Yet never have you strayed an inch from it.
勝樂國妙峰山德雲比丘憶念一切諸佛境界智慧光明普見法門。頌曰演若達多狂始定，十方國土明如鏡。鏡中現出無數頭，一聲喚著聲聲應。
> Dharma Cloud Bhikṣu on the Wonderful Peak of the Land of Bliss: "The gate of the Dharma that recollects the wisdom-light of all Buddha-realms, universally seen." \*\*Verse:\*\* Yajñadatta’s madness finally calmed, The lands in all ten directions shine clear as a mirror. Countless heads appear within the mirror, One call is made, and each voice echoes in return.
海岸國海雲比丘普眼法門。頌曰大海境界隨思念，湧出如來光燦爛。一句難將海墨書，留與無聞作鍼砭。
> Haiyun Bhikshu of the Seashore Kingdom: Samanta-netra Dharma-gate Like an ocean's vast expanse, thoughts arise at will, Bringing forth Tathagatas with a brilliant, shining glow. This single verse surpasses what all ocean-ink could fill, Left as a pointing needle for those who do not know.
楞伽道邊海岸聚落善住比丘，普速疾供養諸佛，成就眾生無礙解脫門。頌曰大地本來無寸土，空中行住未為難。幾多悲智莊嚴事，一枕南柯夢欲殘。
> At the settlement on the coast by the Path of Lanka, the Bhikshu Shanzhu swiftly makes offerings to all Buddhas and perfects the unobstructed liberation gate for sentient beings. A verse says: The great earth originally has not a speck of dust, Walking or dwelling in space is no hardship. How many compassionate and wise acts of adornment, Are like a dream under a southern bough nearing its end.
達里鼻茶國自在城人彌伽妙音陀羅尼光明法門。頌曰叨作輪王親胤，坐受公孤謨訓。傳來輪字莊嚴，頒向九州百郡。
> In the Self-Mastery City of the Tali Kingdom of Bicha, a man named Miga taught the Dharma of the Light of the Wonderful Sound Dharani. A verse says: Born as a universal monarch's heir, Sitting, receiving guidance from ministers and tutors. Passing down the majestic wheel of letters— Spreading it to all regions and provinces.
住林聚落解脫長者如來無礙莊嚴解脫門。頌曰無邊佛剎莊嚴，清淨身中顯現。悲歡離合滿場，究竟皆從一線。說破只是自心，免使別求神變。
> In a forest settlement, the Elder Liberation, the Tathagata's unimpeded magnificent liberation gate. The verse says: Limitless Buddha-lands in splendor vast, Within a pure body they are cast. Joy and sorrow, meeting and parting fill the scene— At root, it all springs from one single thread, clear and keen. The truth revealed: it's only your own mind, Don't seek elsewhere for miracles divine.
閻浮提畔摩利伽羅國海幢比丘普眼捨得三昧。頌曰殊形異狀，遍體出生。六月六日，播弄精靈。喚作般若，嬰兒喪明。
> On the shore of Jambudvipa, in the country of Marigara, the Bhikshu Ocean-Gazing meditated and attained the Samadhi of All-Seeing Vision. A verse says: Various strange shapes and forms, Born all over the body. On the sixth day of the sixth month, they play with the spirit. Call it "Prajna," and the baby loses its sight.
海潮處普莊嚴園，休捨優婆夷離憂安隱幢解脫門。頌曰見聞同住不唐捐，吸盡西江未足傳。向若歎洋慚灌叟，鐵圍山外有香泉。
> At Universal Adornment Garden by the Tidal Shore, the Laywoman Restful Freedom taught the liberation called "Calm and Auspicious Banner of Stillness." A verse says: Seeing, hearing, or dwelling together never goes in vain, Yet even drinking the entire West River can't convey this truth. Like the old well-waterer humbled by the vast ocean, Beyond the Iron Ring Mountains lies a fragrant spring.
那羅素國毘目瞿沙仙人無勝幢解脫。頌曰摩頂執手，東奔西走。眨得眼來，天長地久。落花紅處象王迴，芳草綠時師子吼。
> The Nalakuta Kingdom's Vimalaghosha Rishi, through the "Unconquerable Banner" liberation, spoke a verse: I touch your crown, I take your hand—a rush east, a dash west. A blink of the eye, and heaven grows old, the earth endures long. Where crimson petals fall, the King of Elephants turns back; When fragrant grasses green, the Lion’s roar resounds.
伊沙那聚落勝熱婆羅門無盡輪解脫。頌曰刀山火聚足清安，只是全身投入難，拼得一條窮性命，髑髏孔裏夜光寒。
師子奮迅城慈行童女般若波羅蜜普莊嚴門。頌曰清淨法身，牆壁瓦礫。種種異門，何莫何適。欲知百萬陀羅尼，好向莊嚴宮殿覓。
> The Lion-Striding City, the Maiden Compassionate-Action, the Door of Universal Adornment of Prajna Paramita. Verses say: The pure Dharma-body is found in walls and tiles and stones. Various different doors, none leads astray. If you wish to know the millions of Dharani vows, Go seek them in the Adorned Palace's halls.
三眼國善見比丘隨順燈解脫門。頌曰風和日暖魚尋餌，楊柳桃花夾岸新。多少長安美公子，翩翩裘馬惜芳春。
名聞國河渚自在主童子一切工巧大神通智光明法門。頌曰童子無聊，聚沙為戲。算來算去，有名無義。漚滅空無，是一是二。雖然恁麼舉揚，不免眼中添刺。
> The child Guanyin of the Land of Renowned Sounds shares the Dharma Gate of Great Skill and Peerless Wisdom, through a verse:A child, unoccupied, amuses with sand. He counts and counts—doings with form but no meaning. Bubbles burst, leaving naught but space: Are these one and the same? Even with such teachings, a speck of dust still finds its way into the eye.
海住大城具足優婆夷無盡福德藏解脫門。頌曰一器幾何，十界供普。吞時脹殺人天，吐時餓殺佛祖。問取童女十千，畢竟作何去取。
> The Laywoman of Infinite Merit, dwelling in the great city of Ocean-Abode, reveals the “Gate of Liberation that is the Infinite Treasury of Merit.” The verse says: Its single vessel—how small, yet vast as all ten realms. When it swallows, it bloats and kills celestial beings; When it spits out, it starves and kills Buddhas and patriarchs. Ask the ten thousand maidens: In the end, what will you take or leave?
