In sitting, you do not look at yourself;
meditation is not an external art.
At first, the mind is noisy and unruly;
there is still no choice but to shift it back.
That is why there are many methods
to teach it quiet observation.
When you sit up and gather your spirit,
at first it scatters helter-skelter;
over a period of time, eventually it calms down,
opening and freeing the six senses.
When the six senses rest a bit,
discrimination occurs therein.
As soon as discrimination occurs,
it seems to produce arising and vanishing.
The transformations of arising and vanishing
come from manifestations of one's own mind.
Put your own mind to use to look back once:
once you've returned, no need to do it again;
you wear a halo of light on your head.
The spiritual flames leap and shine,
unobstructed in any state of mind,
all-inclusive, all-pervasive;
birth and death forever cease.
