zhengdao-ge/verse18

I wandered over rivers and seas, crossing mountains and streams,
Visiting teachers, asking about the Way in personal interviews;
Since I recognized the Sixth Founding Teacher at Ts'ao Ch'i,
I know what is beyond the relativity of birth and death.

Wandering the landscape of this dream-world
Plumbing the depths of aloneness
Meeting noble friends and penetrating the Way
such a life is for naught
