| Freezing to death, we do not scheme. |
| Starving to death, we do not beg, |
| Dying of poverty, we ask for nothing. |
| According with conditions, we do not change. |
| Not changing, we accord with conditions. |
| We adhere firmly to our three great principles. |
| We renounce our lives to do the Buddha's work. |
| We take the responsibility to mold our own destinies. |
| We rectify our lives as the Sangha's work. |
| Encountering specific matters, we understand the principles. |
| Understanding the principles, we apply them in specific matters. |
| We carry on the single pulse of the patriarch's mind-transmission. |

|
凍死不攀緣，餓死不化緣，窮死不求緣，隨緣不變，不變隨緣，抱定我們三大宗旨。
|
|
捨命為佛事，造命為本事，正命為僧事，即事明理，明理即事，推行祖師一脈心傳旨。
