Romanized:
Ling tai wu wu wei zhi qing
Ji ji quan wu yi nian sheng
Yuan ma lao shou xiu fang dang
Jing shen jin shen muo zheng rong
Jing shen jin shen muo zheng rong
Chu liu zei
Wu san cheng
Wan yuan dou zi fen ming
Se xie yong chao zhen jie
Gong xiang xi fang ji le cheng
Xi fang ji le cheng
Chinese:
靈台無物謂之清
寂寂全无一念生
猿马牢收休放嵘
精神谨慎莫峥嵘
精神谨慎莫峥嵘
除六贼
悟三乘
万缘都自分明
色邪永超真界
共享西方即乐城
西方即乐城
English translation:
A mind is pure that holds nothing
It remains serene without a single thought
Firmly restrain both the Monkey and the Horse
Take care govern both spirit and sperm
Root out the six robbers
Awaken the Three Vehicles
Enlightenment comes when all fetters fall away
Depravity destroyed, to the Pure Realm you’ll rise
Forever in the West to enjoy eternal bliss
In the West to enjoy eternal bliss
