贊曰：
雨落日出 石滑路晴
踢破腳尖 明月炤戶
依舊埜山 燈籠露柱
笑壤虛空 花開鐵樹
註解：
「雨落日出，石滑路晴」：下雨時太陽出來，石頭很滑可是路是很好走，很乾淨的。這就是相反的道理，叫人不要執著。
「踢破腳尖」：走路不小心，把腳尖也踢破了。
「明月炤戶」：這是大自然的境界。
「依舊埜山，燈籠露柱」：依舊還是埜山，可是燈籠露柱，這是不可能的。如果露柱，就沒有火了。
「笑壞虛空」：白光德明禪師如心靜火滅，教化完了之後就圓寂了，可是把虛空都笑壞了。
「花開鐵樹」：鐵樹很久才開一次花，他的境界很稀有，不可能的事他都做到了。
又說偈曰：
白光萬丈照太虛 日月共明眾仰依
埜山克歸田園裡 性海澄清菩提基
笑壞虛空無所得 踢破腳尖有何奇
擲筆而逝同參侶 這般攜手並駕驅
註解：
「白光萬丈照太虛」：德明禪師的光芒萬丈，把虛空都照亮了。
「日月共明眾仰依」：大家都仰望，想皈依他所講的法--心地法門裡。
「埜山克歸田園裡，性海澄清菩提基」：德明和尚在他的田園裡長出的性海裡，也澄清了，因為有以前的菩提根基。
「笑壞虛空無所得」：把虛空都笑壞了，什麼也沒有。因為虛空什麼都沒有，所以怎麼可在虛空中得到東西？
「踢破腳尖有何奇」：把自己的腳尖踢破了，有什麼出奇的？
「擲筆而逝同參侶」：誰想要做我的同參，你們也要能擲筆而逝，才是我的同參。
「這般攜手並駕驅」：你要能這樣，我才能和你手拉手地在一起做同參。

A verse in praise says:
It's raining, but the sun comes out;
The stones are slippery but the road is clear.
He stubs his toe;
The bright moon shines in the windows.
It's still the same old Ye Mountain,
But the wick protrudes from the lantern.
His laugh shatters the void.
Flowers bloom on an iron tree.
Commentary:
It's raining, but the sun comes out; / The stones are slippery but the road is clear. The sun comes out during the rainfall. The stones are slippery, but the road is clean and easy to walk upon. These opposites serve to break people's attachments.
In a moment of carelessness, he stubs his toe; / The bright moon shines in the windows. This is a scene of Nature.
It's still the same old Ye Mountain, / But the wick protrudes from the lantern. This is impossible. If the wick comes out of the lantern, the fire will go out.
His laugh shatters the void. Dhyana Master Baiguang Deming has achieved a tranquility of mind similar to an extinguished fire. Upon completing his work of teaching beings, he enters perfect stillness. However, his laugh breaks space apart.
Flowers bloom on an iron tree. An iron tree blooms only once in a very long time. This symbolizes that Master Baiguang's state of mind is extremely rare. He was able to achieve the impossible.
Another verse says:
Ten thousand rays of white light shine through space.
Everyone finds refuge in the mutual brilliance of the sun and moon.
In the fields and gardens of Venerable Kegui of Ye Mountain,
He makes the ocean of his nature crystal clear, using his foundations in Bodhi.
His laugh shatters the void; nothing is attained.
He stubs his toe—what's the big deal?
To be my equal, you must be able to throw down the brush and pass away.
If you can achieve this, we can walk together.
Commentary:
Ten thousand rays of white light shine through space. Dhyana Master Deming's radiant effulgence lights up all of space.
Everyone finds refuge in the mutual brilliance of the sun and moon. Everyone looks up to and takes refuge in the Dharma he speaks, which is the Dharma door of the mind ground.
In the fields and gardens of Venerable Kegui of Ye Mountain, / He makes the ocean of his nature crystal clear, using his foundations in Bodhi. In Venerable Kegui's fields, Venerable Deming develops the ocean of his nature and is able to make it clear and pellucid because of his past foundations in Bodhi.
His laugh shatters the void; nothing is attained. His laugh bursts the seams of space, but there is nothing at all. Since space has nothing to it, how could there be anything in space?
He stubs his toe—what's the big deal? What's so strange about stubbing one's toe?
To be my equal, you must be able to throw down the brush and pass away. If you want to be my fellow cultivator, you must be able to cast down the brush and die on the spot.
If you can achieve this, we can walk together. If you are capable of that, we can walk hand-in-hand as fellow cultivators.
