「穿泉汲水，斟酌性海源頭；達筧引流，汪洋有本家風。闢谿壑以通衢，盈河海而蕩漾。千流合道，萬派朝宗。有時震海潮音，魚龍仰之變化；有時開江展漢，鯤鵬賴以飛騰。鱗甲藏身，潛龍或躍。深廣莫測，灝漢無涯。雖是真空性水，實乃大丈夫源潔流清之作用也。且道丈夫漢安身處又當何如？藕絲孔裏乾坤大，兔角尖頭世界奢。定動交加雙坐斷，自然頂上撒天華。」
Drawing water from the spring, we measure the source of the sea of our own nature; channeling through the conduit, the boundless flow has its own ancestral style. Opening ravines and valleys to become thoroughfares, filling rivers and seas with rippling waves. A thousand streams merge into the Way, ten thousand tributaries return to the source. Sometimes it sounds the ocean-tide roar, and fish and dragons transform in response; sometimes it spreads rivers and stretches the sky, allowing the great whale and roc to soar. The scaled and shelled find their refuge, the hidden dragon may leap. Deep and vast beyond measure, boundless without horizon. Though this is the empty nature of water, it is truly the function of a great person whose source is pure and whose flow is clear. Now tell me, where does the great person find their place of rest? Within the eye of a lotus fiber, the universe is vast; at the tip of a rabbit's horn, worlds are immense. When stillness and motion are both cut through at once, naturally heavenly flowers rain down from above.
