9. 返本還源

返本還源已費功，

Returning back to the original nature and
its’ root of reality after a crucible of practice.

爭如直下若盲聾。
Go straight forward to the true self-hood,
perceive it and get unattached,
like blind and deaf person.

庵中不見庵前物，
Staying inside the nunnery, and without
differentiating the objects outside.

水自茫茫花自紅。
Like the law of nature, water keeps flowing
and flowers abloom as a natural routine.
