若是箇漢、不顧危亡單刀直入。
A man of determination will unflinchingly push his way straight forward, regardless of all dangers.
Which direction is 'forward'?
How does one disregard danger?
八臂那咤、擱他不在。
Then even the eight-armed Nata cannot hinder him.
What is that? How can one be hindered by something that doesn't exist?
縦使西天四七、東土二三、只得望風乞命。
Even the four sevens of the West and the two threes of the East would beg for their lives.
What are these, and why would they beg for their lives?
設或躊躇、也似隔窓看馬騎、貶得眼來、早已蹉過。
If one has no determination, then it will be like catching a glimpse of a horse galloping past the window: in the twinkling of an eye it will be gone.
A. What's the difference between determination and no determination?
B. What will be like catching a glimpse of a horse galloping past the window?
C. What will be gone?
Verse 頌曰
大道無門 The Great Way is gateless,
千差有路 Approached in a thousand ways.
Who approaches in a thousand ways?
透得此關 Once past this checkpoint
You just said there wasn't a checkpoint two lines up. Which is it?
乾坤獨歩 You stride through the universe.
What do you mean?
