灵阳子曰∶此夕欣逢巧节， 清要在斯时，月光皎洁印深也，真个天星倒置。不着离奇色相，
岂因空境空之，一灵透出已前珠，鱼目应知不是。
长春子曰∶心性非一物，性在心中见，水月两 清，波光自不染。
灵台深广似 江，源远应知流自长。

静中现个团圆月，始信斯人不是痴。
回春子曰∶当头一棒，领者去会，会者颠头，融通寂灭。
恶莫憎兮善莫夸，坚持吾性漫凭他。
地雷震动真如现，一任遨游上海查。
回春子曰∶如何佛法，干天一橛，霹雳一声，不怕打杀。
浓云密雨雾凄凄，遮却本来菩萨面。
不是清风净扫除，蟾光怎得团圆现。
回春子曰∶蒲团片响，刹那一刻，翻个斤斗，菩萨出现。
性似 潭水，心如大地平。
草莱生即划，风过碧波清。
回春子曰∶性不离心，心空无物，草生用划，下乘之法。

回春子曰∶分明一个月，指早是个月，日月光天德，山河壮帝都。咄，谁识！
一点灵明一点金，随风扬去 沉沉。
分明有个菩提种，性乱神昏何处寻。
回春子曰∶穿衣吃饭，不知饱暖，心去性空，火中莲现。
愁苗情种两都捐，外若春风内铁坚。
顺死逆生同一理，但于动静却非然。
回春子曰∶荆棘中不妨着脚，深潭内也易翻身。怕只怕清风明月，坐对青山。
人生碌碌似浮萍，业海风波何日停。
要识本来真面目，勤从月下叩真人。
回春子曰∶一盂一钵，到处为家，撞着老参，举杖便打。
浑沦元气原无象，庚甲之间觉有形。
莫道有无难自辩，须明求已胜求人。
回春子曰∶摩尼一粒，沙界难敌，龙女献来，此际得识。咦，一个孩儿两个娘，四门亲家，不得

外浊须知内本清，龙头虎尾按时生。

总然精气神皆足，黑暗如何解炼烹。
回春子曰∶东南西北及中州，黑黑尘蒙易白头。咄，说话的颠倒了。难不难，一翻斤斗。
易非易，挣起双眸。
缄口凝神只内观，法身常现一毫端。
静中摄得灵明宝，直居中宫便是丹。
回春子曰∶得了手，闭了口。若还不去承当，竹篦何堪打走。咄咄咄，再来不值半文钱，请到
方丈后去休。
长空清回原无染，云去云来只自忙。
鼓动巽风旋上下，性光明宝总归囊。

明暗休将世务分，闲来觅得己前身。

虎尾龙头绦索系，擒归神室合真源。
回春子曰∶久别家乡，道阻且长，从今得返，方知父
母妻子各各安好。咦，千年华表依然，一任桑田变海。
我听说天道刚健统摄万物，地道柔顺承天而行，化生万物的道理，蕴含于阴阳二气的交融之中；天地交泰的和谐，统御着天、地、人三才，如同陶匠塑造泥土一般。德行、言语、工艺、仪容，坤道可谓完备。女子温婉贤淑，闺门礼仪由此彰显。至于那些天生钟灵毓秀，具有聪慧姿容的女子，即便织出回文锦缎，仍难免遭受连波（指晋代苏蕙之夫窦滔）的憎恶；艳骨埋于青冢，徒留月夜下的孤魂。其他如鬓发如云的美人，沉迷于苦难的海中；香粉涂面，却陷入如火坑般的困境；身体残缺不全，本是前世的业障。由于未能参透“三因”（中医病因分类：内因、外因、不内外因），又增添了今生的冤孽。其中寿命长短、境遇穷达，无法一一列举；容貌美丑、智力愚智，更是不胜枚举。总归是因为世间缺乏关于女性修养传承的典籍，致使人们难以超越劫难。因此奏请：
太上老君敕令众位神仙真人在诗篇中阐发性命心性，在机锋转语中寄托棒喝警示。既然知道追求寂静，恐怕会堕入顽空之境，于是更有真正的传承，教导他们如何下手修行。
字字句句如玉液琼浆，无非是修身立命的功夫；每一个字都像金针一样，尽是降伏心魔（缚虎牵龙）的秘诀。如果诚心锻炼，眼前即是玄妙境界；依据法门修持，鼎内便会凝结成丹药（绛雪）。与其被世俗的网罗所牵绊，留恋这一息繁华，何不斩断情关，占据万年道域？西池有路，渡船的桨就在这里，姑且写下这些浅陋之言，用以宣扬教化。
王重阳谨序
月亮正圆之时映照水面明亮，乾坤大地一片晶莹。
一只大雁斜飞过潭水留下倒影，过了一会儿明月映在清澈的波浪中。
回春子说：巧妙的机缘恰好契合，宝相圆满团圆，月光照耀寒潭，光芒四射。只有清净才能澄澈，只有澄澈才能照明。寂静与照明圆融无碍，觉知灵性自然显现。
西方传来的微妙义理，至大至圆，活泼而玄微，如同东海珍珠回归。咦，四海浩浩荡荡水流接天，在水天深处自然遇到源头。
海蟾子说：庆幸得到志同道合的人注解性理诗，明心见性时大道成就，刘操（号海蟾子）来到龙华会，醉意中向深潭捉月稍迟。
灵阳子说：这个夜晚欣喜相逢七夕巧节，精要关键就在此时，月光皎洁印在深处，真是天星倒置。不执着于离奇的外相，难道因为空境就落入空无吗？一点灵光透出之前的明珠，鱼目混珠应当知道不是真的。
长春子说：心性不是一物，性在心中显现，水和月亮都澄清，波光自然不被污染。
灵台深邃广阔像大江，源头深远应该知道流水自然长。
任凭毒龙争斗嬉戏扰乱，怎像沟渠中的血污污泥飞扬。
回春子说：清光如镜子，不需要锻炼，一擦拭打磨，毒龙便显现。咦，没什么可说的，西方来的妙义，最终还是要回归本源。
磨不薄染不黑，受宠有什么可羡慕，受辱何必推辞。
在静中显现出圆满的月亮，才相信这个人不是痴人。
回春子曰：当头一棒，领会的人离去去参悟，参悟的人点头，融通寂灭的境界。
恶不要憎恨，善不要夸耀，坚持我的本性随他去吧。
地雷震动时真如本性显现，任凭遨游在上海查（此处疑为地名或隐喻，暂译作上海查）。
回春子曰：什么是佛法，像干天的一截木头，霹雳一声，不怕打死。
浓云密雨雾气凄凄，遮住了本来的菩萨面孔。
如果不是清风洁净扫除，蟾光怎么能圆满显现。
回春子曰：蒲团上一声轻响，刹那一刻，翻个跟头，菩萨出现。
本性像深潭的水，心如大地般平坦。
杂草丛生就铲除，风吹过碧波自清。

应对事务就像光线暂时晦暗，魂魄产生依旧显现明珠。
回春子曰：不懂参禅，怎么知道拜佛。一拳打破，五指不撒。
心像野鸟最难驯服，刚出笼子时就要擒拿。
不要让心随风任南北飘散，本来野狼藉陷在深坑里。
回春子曰：分明是一个月亮，手指早就指着那个月亮，日月光照天的德行，山河壮美帝都。咄，谁认识！
一点灵明一点金，随风扬去沉沉。
分明有个菩提种子，性乱神昏哪里去寻找。
回春子曰：穿衣吃饭，不知道饱暖，心去性空，火中莲花显现。
愁绪苗头情种两者都抛弃，外表像春风内心铁坚硬。
顺死逆生同一个道理，但在动静上却不是这样。
回春子曰：荆棘中不妨落脚，深潭里也容易翻身。怕只怕清风明月，坐对青山。
人生忙碌像浮萍，业海风波哪一天停止。
要认识本来的真面目，勤从月下叩问真人。
回春子曰：一个盂一个钵，到处为家，撞着老参禅者，举起杖就打。
浑沦元气原本没有形象，庚甲之间觉得有形。
不要说有和无难以自我辩别，必须明白求己胜过求人。
回春子曰：摩尼宝珠一粒，沙界世界难以抵挡，龙女献来，此刻得以认识。咦，一个孩子两个娘，四门亲家，不能疏忽失掉了啊。
外浊要知道内本清，龙头虎尾按时生成。
如果把凡人和圣人合为一，白雪黄芽自然长成。
回春子曰：什么是道，要撒尿拉屎，吃饭穿衣，全都不清楚。
大道先须养性灵，灵光悟彻容易归根。
纵然精气神都充足，黑暗中如何解炼烹煮。
回春子曰：东南西北及中原，黑黑尘蒙容易白头。咄，说话的人颠倒了。难不难，翻个跟头。
易非易，睁开双眼。
闭口凝神只向内观，法身常现于一毫端。
静中摄得灵明宝，直居中宫便是丹。

I have heard that Heaven's strength is vigorous and governs all things, while Earth's nature is yielding and follows Heaven. The way of nourishing life contains the interaction of Yin and Qi (vital energy); the harmony of Heaven and Earth interacting controls the Three Realms (Heaven, Earth, Human), much like a potter shaping clay. Virtue, speech, craftsmanship, and appearance—the Dao of Kun (Earth) can be considered complete. Gentle, prudent, and tender virtues, the rituals of the inner chambers are thereby established. As for those who naturally gather spiritual essence and possess intelligent appearances, even if they weave brocade with reversed patterns (Huiwen), they may still suffer the hatred of Lianbo (referring to Dou Tao, husband of Su Hui). Their beauty buried in the Green Mound leaves only the soul returning under the moonlight in vain. Others, with hair like clouds and temples, indulge in the bitter sea; with fragrant powder on their faces, they fall into the fire pit; bodies with five leaks (physical defects or moral failings) are originally karmic obstacles from past lives. Failing to comprehend the "Three Causes" (internal, external, and non-internal/external causes of disease), they add present-life grievances. Among them, lengths of life and extremes of fortune cannot be enumerated; beauties and ugliness, foolishness and wisdom, how can they be fully spoken? It is generally because the world lacks biographies or teachings regarding women, causing people to find it difficult to transcend kalpas (eons of suffering). Therefore, I petition:
The Supreme Emperor issues an edict to the group of true immortals to elucidate mind-nature in poetry and entrust stick-and-shout warnings in turning phrases. Since knowing stillness might lead to falling into stubborn emptiness, there is further true transmission teaching them how to begin practice.
Every word is like jade liquid, nothing but the merit of cultivating the body and establishing destiny; every character is like a golden needle, entirely the secret of binding tigers and leading dragons (subduing the mind). If one can sincerely temper oneself, the mysterious state is right before one's eyes; according to the method of practice, crimson snow (refined elixir) will condense within the cauldron. Instead of being entangled by worldly nets, clinging to this breath of prosperity, why not sever the pass of emotion and occupy the Dao domain for ten thousand years? There is a path to the West Pool, the oar for crossing lies here; I merely append these trivial words to proclaim the wooden bell (symbolizing teaching/edict).
Wang Chongyang respectfully prefaces.
When the moon is perfectly round, it reflects brightly in the water; the Great Qian and Kun, the earth and land, are all crystal clear.
A single wild goose passes diagonally, leaving a shadow in the pool; after a moment, the bright moon reflects clearly in the waves.
Huichun Zi says: Clever mechanisms fit perfectly, the precious aspect is round and complete; the moon shines on the cold pool, rays radiating in all directions. Only clarity allows purity, only purity allows illumination. Stillness and illumination are round and penetrating, awareness and spirit naturally appear.
The subtle meaning from the West is vast and round, lively and profound, like the pearl of the East Sea returning. Ah, the four seas surge with water connecting to the sky; deep in the water and sky, one naturally meets the source.
Haichan Zi says: Gladly receiving fellow practitioners annotating poems on nature, when the mind is illuminated and nature seen, the Dao is accomplished. Liu Chi comes to the Longhua Assembly, drunk, catching the moon in the deep pool late.
Lingyang Zi says: This evening joyfully meeting the Qixi festival, the essence and importance lie at this time; the moonlight is bright and pure, printing deeply, truly stars inverted. Not attaching to bizarre forms, how could one fall into empty emptiness due to an empty realm? A spirit emerges revealing the pearl before, fish eyes should know are not real.
Changchun Zi says: Mind-nature is not a single object; nature is seen in the heart. Water and moon both clear, wave light naturally unstained.
The Spirit Platform is deep and broad like the river; knowing the source is far, one should know the flow is long.
Let poison dragons fight and disturb as they please, how can they compare to mud and filth thrown in ditches?
Huichun Zi says: Clear light like a mirror, no need for tempering; one wipe and polish, the poison dragon appears. Ah, nothing to say, the subtle meaning from the West, the walking stick still returns.
Grind it thin but not worn, dye it black but not stained; what is there to envy in favor, what is there to decline in insult.
In stillness, a round moon appears; then believe this person is not foolish.
Huichun Zi says: A blow to the head, those who receive go to meet it; those who meet nod heads, fusing into nirvana.
Do not hate evil, do not praise good; firmly hold my nature, let others be.
When the Earth Thunder vibrates, True Suchness appears; roam freely in Shanghai Cha.
Huichun Zi says: What is Buddhism? Like a dry piece of heaven; a thunderclap sound, not afraid of being beaten to death.
Thick clouds and dense rain, misty and bleak, covering the original Bodhisattva face.
If not cleared by the clean wind, how can the Toad Light appear round?
Huichun Zi says: A sound on the meditation cushion, a刹那 (kshana/instant); flip over, the Bodhisattva appears.
Nature is like deep pool water, heart is flat like the earth.
Weeds grow and are cut, wind passes, green waves clear.
Huichun Zi says: Nature does not leave the heart; heart empty has no objects; weeds grow and use cutting, this is inferior method.
A point of spirit brightness originally pure and void; clouds go and come, moon is free.
Handling affairs is like light temporarily dimming; soul generates, still reveals the bright pearl.
Huichun Zi says: Not understanding Zen, how know bowing to Buddha? One punch breaks it, five fingers do not release.
Heart like a wild bird hardest to tame; just out of cage wants to be caught.
Do not let it follow wind north or south; originally wild wolf lies trapped in deep pit.
Huichun Zi says: Clearly one moon, finger already points to that moon; sun and moon shine with Heaven's virtue, mountains and rivers strengthen the capital. Ho! Who recognizes!
A point of spirit brightness, a point of gold; scattered with wind, sinking heavily.
Clearly there is a Bodhi seed; where to seek when nature confused and spirit dim?
Huichun Zi says: Dressing and eating, not knowing full or warm; heart goes, nature empty, lotus in fire appears.
Sprouts of sorrow and seeds of passion both donated; outwardly like spring wind, inwardly iron hard.
Following death and opposing birth are same principle; yet in movement and stillness it is not so.
Huichun Zi says: In thorns, feet may step; in deep pools, easy to turn over. Only fear clear wind and bright moon, sitting facing green mountains.
Life busy like duckweed, when will karma sea waves stop?
To know original true face, diligently knock on True Person under moon.
Huichun Zi says: One alms bowl, one rice bowl, home everywhere; hitting old practitioner, raise staff and strike.
Hundun primordial Qi originally formless; between Geng and Jia, feel shape.
Do not say having and not having hard to self-distinguish; must understand seeking self surpasses seeking others.
Huichun Zi says: One Mani pearl, sand-world hard to oppose; Dragon Girl offers it, at this time recognized. Ah, one child two mothers, four doors relatives, must not lose care.
Outer turbidity know inner originally clear; Dragon head Tiger tail born on time.
If merging mortal and saint into one, White Snow Yellow Sprout naturally grows.
Huichun Zi says: What is Dao? Must urinate and defecate, eat and dress, completely unaware.
Great Dao first must nourish spirit; spirit light thoroughly understood easy to return to root.
Even if Essence, Qi, Spirit all sufficient, in darkness how solve refining and cooking?
Huichun Zi says: Southeast Northwest and Central Province, black dust easily turns hair white. Ho! Speaker inverted. Hard or not, flip over.
Yi is not Yi, open eyes wide.
Seal mouth concentrate spirit only look inward; Dharma body constantly appears at hair tip.
In stillness capture spirit bright treasure, directly center Middle Palace is Dan.
Huichun Zi says: Got hand, closed mouth. If not accepting burden, how bamboo cane can beat away. Ho ho ho, coming again worth half a coin, please go to Abbot's quarters behind.
Vast sky clear return originally unstained; clouds go come only busy themselves.
Stir Xun Wind rotate up down; nature light bright treasure total return to bag.
Huichun Zi says: One cloth bag, contain without hindrance; hun dun chaotic cannot release.
Bright dark do not separate worldly affairs; leisure come find own previous body.
Xing xing (awake/alert) not get hot-cold attitude; life death totally throw obtain ultimate truth.
Huichun Zi says: Above Nine Heavens, below Nine Springs; Shaolin sticks, up down hit together. Hit through, let loose horse.
Teng teng fierce flame Green Dragon dances; miao miao clear waves White Tiger squats.
Tiger tail Dragon head cord tied; catch back Spirit Chamber merge True Source.
Huichun Zi says: Long part hometown, road obstructed and long; from now return, know Father Mother Wife Child each well. Ah, Thousand Year Huabiao still remains; let Mulberry fields change to sea.
