zhengdao-ge/verse2

When the Dharma body awakens completely,
There is nothing at all.
The source of our self-nature
Is the Buddha of innocent truth.
Mental and physical reactions come and go
Like clouds in the empty sky;
Greed, hatred, and ignorance appear and disappear
Like bubbles on the surface of the sea.

Like skating on thin ice
remaining unaware of the source of all Buddhas
Give it a good stomp
The chill runs up the spine; icy water has always been cold
