The three articles of supreme drugs
for the elixir, are spirit, prana and
essence. |
 |
In a trance [i.e. in an
flash and in an
instant], (and) in deep
obscurity, |
 |
(by) keeping nothingness and holding to Being, instantaneously that is
succeeded. |
 |
(Then by) reverting wind (of
breathing air) to blend, spiritual achievement (be gained) in a
hundred days. |
 |
(And) tacitly attend towards the
Supreme Lord, ascension in one epoch [i.e. 12
years]. |
 |
For the knower, (it is) easy to
realize, (but) difficult for the ignorant to do
so. |
 |
Tread the morning
twilight, nourish and refreshed by exhaling and inhaling (the
morning fresh air). |
 |
(Breathe) out Hsuan [i.e. collapse from
nothingness to Being] and (breathe) in the (divine)
feminine, (which) seems to decease (and yet) seems to
exist, |
 |
(and) continuing like a cotton
thread, never ending, with firm stem (and) deep
roots. |
 |
Every man has essence. Essence
(is) together with his spirit. |
 |
Spirit (is) together with
his prana. (With) prana together, (then) body (is)
real. |
 |
Not gaining
this reality, (then) all are (just) imposed
names. |
 |
The spirit can penetrate
stone. The spirit can fly beyond forms (of
existence). |
 |
Not getting drown in water, (and)
not being burnt in fire. |
 |
With spirit attached, forms (of
existence) grow. With essence attached, prana (is) filled
full. |
 |
(Then forms of existence will) not
wither (and) not be destroyed, like an evergreen pine or cypress
tree. |
 |
(This) one theory (for the) three
articles, (is) too wondrous to be heard. |
 |
(With) their gathering, then being
(come to existence). (With) their scattering, then (existence is)
nil. |
 |
(When accomplished, the) seven
apertures (will be) mutually connected, with each aperture
enlightened.
|
 |
The holy sun and the holy moon,
Note
A (will) shine brightly (on) the golden
[i.e. celestial] court. |
 |
Once gained, (it is) forever
gained, (and) naturally (the) body (will be)
lightened. |
 |
Supreme harmony (will)
circumfuse, (and) the bones (will) disperse cold divine
wine. |
 |
Gaining the elixir, then spirituality (will be gained). Not
gaining (it), then (life will) decline. |
 |
The elixir inside the
body, is neither white nor blue. |
 |
Recite it for ten thousand
times, (then this) wondrous theory (will be) understood
automatically. |
