学佛若不参悟妙理真谛，行医便无法领悟生命玄机。内心安顿若疏漏，行为意志有何益处？心中禅意如慧珠般内里明亮，灵台明镜包容万象。研读上古圣帝之书，立下辅佐良相的志向。一旦剃度出家，万事皆随缘而行。雕琢虫鱼文字，将其视为性命所系；搜罗草木药材，耗尽全部精神。念及我佛慈悲，只需低头便能饶恕你；怜悯众生顽劣苦恼，举起十指（施针或按摩）以救活世人。
当柏子香在炉中焚烧，梅花映照着帐幕，采摘兰蕙展现其秀美，香气环绕着芒鞋；白术与芝草蕴含和气，云雾般的布衲生出云气。这医术不愧为台公（指唐代名医孙思邈，号“药王”，曾居太白山，此处借指高超医术），可称为獭女（指传说中精于医术的女子）之奇特。青囊（指医书或医术）背负在僧人的肩上，紫书（指珍贵医籍）握在佛手之中。而且从凤阙（指皇家藏书处）采撷圣经，拥有《金匮玉函》等珍本；探求龙宫中的宝笈，牙签锦轴（指精美的书籍装帧）。借此推演六气，按察五行，细致辨别阴阳，详细参究脉候部位。
开启天地的大橐籥（比喻自然界的气化运动），掌握生死的权衡。虽然郭玉（汉代名医）遥远难及，但金针暗度（指心法传承）；淳意（即仓公，汉代名医）已属奇妙，珠玄（指深奥的道理）暗中探寻。种植杏林，培养人才何须董奉（东汉名医，种杏得谷赈灾）；泉珍橘井（指苏耽修道之处，后泛指良药或善政），灌溉又何必羡慕苏耽（西汉道士，传说饮橘井水治病）。技艺如庖丁解牛般奏刀顺畅，道行广阔如游刃有余。寄托身心而随心所欲，恍若在陆地上居住的神仙。割股（指割下大腿肉治亲病，极言孝道或牺牲）即是支解的原因，遂了菩萨诸般表愿（指通过身体力行表达愿望）。
近来出山问道，奇字满车；入世谈论禅理，名流高士接席而坐。向地位低下者传递芳香讯息，与高明医生缔结金石般的契约。惭愧自己弘扬光大缺乏文采，欣喜于导引养生有术。爱我啊爱我，游湖以领悟西来（指佛教东传）之意；可人啊可人，浮海而终南去（指隐居或离去）。时光绪庚寅年春仲下旬三日，平易金舟乡发牙经樵徐济之题写于虎林客舍。
If one studies Buddhism without contemplating its profound truths, one cannot comprehend the mysteries of medicine. If the mind is not properly settled, what benefit can there be in one's actions and intentions? The Zen mind shines brightly within like a pearl of wisdom, and the spiritual mirror contains all things. One reads the books of the ancient emperors and resolves to become a capable minister. Once tonsured, everything follows destiny. Carving insects and fish (referring to philology or trivial studies) is regarded as essential to life; gathering herbs and plants exhausts one's spirit. Thinking of the Buddha's compassion, a mere bow of the head grants forgiveness; pitying the stubborn troubles of sentient beings, raising ten fingers (acupuncture or massage) saves people.
When incense made from Biota seeds burns in the censer, plum blossoms illuminate the curtains, orchids are picked for their beauty, and fragrance surrounds the straw sandals; Atractylodes and Ganoderma contain harmony, and cloud-like cotton robes seem to generate mist. This medical skill is worthy of Master Tai (a reference to Sun Simiao, known as the King of Medicine), and can be called extraordinary like the daughter of the otter (a legendary figure skilled in medicine). The Qingnang (medical texts or skills) is carried on the monk's shoulder, and purple books (precious medical manuscripts) are held in Buddhist hands. Moreover, sacred scriptures are collected from the Phoenix Palace (imperial library), possessing the *Jinkui Yufan* (Golden Cabinet Jade Formula); treasures are sought in the Dragon Palace, with ivory tags and brocade spines (refining book bindings). Through this, one deduces the Six Qi, examines the Five Elements, carefully distinguishes Yin and Yang, and details the pulse positions.
Opening the bellows of Heaven and Earth (metaphor for natural qi transformation), one holds the balance of life and death. Although Guo Yu (a famous physician of the Han Dynasty) is distant, the golden needle is secretly passed down (transmission of esoteric methods); Chun Yi (Cang Gong, a famous physician of the Han Dynasty) was already miraculous, and the profound mystery is quietly explored. Planting apricot groves, cultivating talent need not rely on Dong Feng (Eastern Han physician who planted apricots to exchange for grain); the precious springs and orange wells (associated with Su Dan, a Daoist immortal known for healing) – irrigation need not envy Su Dan. The technique operates smoothly like Cook Ding carving an ox, and the Way expands like a blade moving with ease. Taking refuge, the heart follows desire, resembling a deity dwelling on land. Cutting flesh (an extreme act of filial piety or sacrifice) becomes the cause of dismemberment, fulfilling the vows of Bodhisattvas.
Recently, emerging from the mountains to seek the Way, carts are filled with rare characters; entering the world to discuss Zen, distinguished guests fill the seats. Conveying fragrant news to humble scholars, forging stone-like bonds with master physicians. Ashamed that my promotion lacks literary grace, yet pleased that guidance and nourishment have methods. Love me, love me, wandering the lake to comprehend the message from the West (Buddhism coming from India); Lovely person, lovely person, floating on the sea towards Zhongnan (retreating to seclusion). On the third day of the latter part of the second month of the spring of Gengyin year in the Guangxu era, Xu Jizhi, styled Pingyi, from Fayajingqiao in Jinzhou Township, inscribed this at a guesthouse in Hulin.
