Touzi Yiqings's Verses on Master Fushan's Sixteen Themes: Theme One: Recognizing One's Own Ancestors

Sakyamuni speaks when the path veers off course—

Stone-folk speak in relative, reciprocal blending.

To pupils before the gate, gift the shout and the stick—

The planned act is languid, idle—one early buried.

.

Awesome sound before the empty kalpa—

Your very own, oh so special, sky pot.

Tower managed, to see... hunt... bow... arrow...

Is it there... trimming the verge in the field?

浮山和尚出十六題令師頌。識自宗。佛祖言時路轉乖。石人語話頗同諧。徒施棒喝門庭迅。擬動之閒早自埋。空劫威音前。別有一壺天。御樓觀射獵。豈是刈茅田。
