至北岳朝名山

至大营浑源南境。朝礼北岳恒山。至虎风口。有朔方第一山。石坊。诣庙云级插天。穹碑森立。进香下山。按恒山乃五岳名山之一。非但中国皆闻名。即世界各国人士。亦皆知名来参观。

宣化偈曰：
北岳恒山世知名。公亦至此朝圣尊。
云级插天真奇迹。穹碑森立太惊人。

Visiting a famous mountain and going to the North Peak

The Master went south of Hun Yuan (Turbid Source) to Ta Ying (Great Camp) and visited the North Peak of Heng Shan (Eternal Mountain). At Hu Feng K'ou (Tiger Wind Mouth) Pass, he saw the stone which reads, "The First Mountain of the Northern Region." When he arrived at the temple, he visited the Stairway to the Clouds, which towered into the sky. There was a forest of stone memorial tablets. The Master descended after offering up incense. (Heng Shan is one of the Five Sacred Mountains. Not only is it a famous place well-known to the Chinese people, but it is renowned by people throughout the world who often come to see it.)

The verse says:
The North Peak of Heng Shan is known throughout the world.
The Master went to pay his respects at the holy sites.
The Stairway to the Clouds reaches for the sky truly a wondrous sight!
The forest of stone memorial tablets are awe inspiring indeed.
