贊曰：
乘智慧力 從劫至劫 剛出母胎 行止超越
如大海波 如高天月 隱顯自然 曷有枯竭
贊曰：
「乘智慧力，從幼至劫」：他乘著智慧的願力來的，從無始劫以來，到現在這個劫。
「剛出母胎，行止超越」：他在今生剛出母胎的時候，他的行為，他的言行動作都和一般人不同的。怎麼樣不同法呢？
「如大海波，如高天月」：就好像大海裏的波浪一樣，又像天空裏的月光似的，普照萬物。
「隱顯自然，曷有枯竭」：他或者隱起來，或者顯現出來，很自然的。有什麼枯槁或沒有的時候呢？
雖然他年紀輕就圓寂了，但是他這種的智慧和行為道德，常常是讓人不會忘的。
或說偈曰：
夢佛摩頂母心奇 覺而生師乃釋疑
六歲出家童真體 十齡行腳顏子軀
用功猛烈神恍惚 漢時朗誦悟菩提
年少有為大法主 西天東土佛祖席
又說偈曰：
「夢佛摩頂母心奇」：他媽媽夢見佛給她摩頂，她心裏覺得很奇怪的。」
「覺而生師乃釋疑」：以後等她睡醒的時候，就生出這位子成傳遂禪師了。
「六歲出家童真體」：六歲他就出家了。你看童真體，這真是童真體！六歲一定沒有什麼的，沒有女朋友的。
「十齡行腳顏子軀」：他十歲就去各處參訪。你看這是早不早？所以就和他父親去參夾山豫禪師。他大概藉著顏回的身體來的。
「用功猛烈神恍惚」：他用功用得不通，太猛烈了，精神也恍惚了，所以坐、臥、笑、語，都失去次序。
「漢詩朗誦悟菩提」：他唸漢詩的時候，唸到「結髮為夫妻，恩愛兩不疑」這兩句上，他豁然開悟了；悟菩提，他覺悟大道了。
「年少有為大法主」：你看，他年紀雖然輕輕的，就作一方的大法主，幾百個出家人圍繞著他。
「西天東土佛祖席」：他在西天東士佛祖的席位上都有份了，一定能列席佛祖之側。

A verse in praise says:
Riding on the power of wisdom,
He goes from one eon to the next.
From the time he emerged from his mother's womb,
His behavior was extraordinary.
Like waves in the vast ocean,
Like the moon high in the sky,
He vanished and reappeared with natural ease.
How could decline and decay occur?
Commentary:
Riding on the vow power of wisdom, / He goes from one eon to the next. He has been around from eons without beginning till the present eon.
From the time he emerged from his mother's womb, from the time of birth,
his behavior was extraordinary. He was different from ordinary people. In what way was he different?
He was like waves in the vast ocean, / Like the moon high in the sky, universally illuminating the myriad creatures and things.
He vanished and reappeared with natural ease. He could naturally conceal or reveal himself.
How could decline and decay occur? Although he passed into stillness at a young age, his wisdom, actions, and virtue will never be forgotten.
Another verse says:
Puzzled was his mother who dreamt
that the Buddha rubbed her head
Upon waking, she gave birth to the Master
and the doubt was resolved
At age six, the pure youth left the household life.
At age ten, he visited teachers, reminding one of Fan Hui.
With such vigor he worked, 'til his spirit was confused
Reading a Han dynasty poem, he awakened to Bodhi.
At a tender age, he was a great Dharma host,
Taking his place among the Buddhist Patriarchs
of East and West.
Another verse says:
Puzzled was his mother who dreamt that the Buddha rubbed her head / Upon waking, she gave birth to the Master and the doubt was resolved. His mother dreamt that the Buddha rubbed the crown of her head and thought it strange. When she woke up, she gave birth to Dhyana Master Zicheng Chuansui.
At age six, the pure youth left the household life. / At age ten, he visited teachers, an incarnation of Yan Hui. He left the household life at the age of six. He was truly a pure lad, for at six, he certainly had no girlfriends. When he turned ten, he traveled around visiting teachers. Wouldn't you say he was precocious? He and his father visited Dhyana Master Jiashanyu. He probably borrowed Yan Hui's body to come into this world.
With such vigor he worked 'til his spirit was confused / Reading a Han dynasty poem, he awakened to Bodhi. He pushed himself too hard. As a result his mind became hazy, and he began acting strangely and laughing and talking out of turn. When he read the line "wedded as man and wife, faithful is their love," in a Han poem, he suddenly enlightened to the Great Way.
At a tender age, he was a great Dharma host, / Taking his place among the Buddhist Patriarchs of East and West. At such a young age, he became an eminent Dharma leader in his area. Several hundred monks gathered around him. He definitely had a place among the Buddhist Patriarchs of the East and West.
