〈《水鏡回天錄》書上記載是五月二十五；當時在場的陳果傑居士之筆記為 六月六日。)
贊曰：
勇猛善戰 所向無敵
當陽一喝 曹操生疑
粗中有細 嚴顏被欺
為兄復仇 百姓稱奇
註解：
「勇猛善戰，所向無敵」：他到什麼地方都沒有人能勝得了他，他都可以把敵人打敗了。
「當陽一喝，曹操生疑」：他在當陽橋那兒，曹操追他的時候，他大喝一聲，那個橋也給喝斷了。曹操這時候也不知道他用什麼神通，什麼功夫把橋弄斷了，所以也就不能追他了。曹操對這個事情很疑惑的。
「粗中有細，嚴顏被欺」：他雖然有勇，有的時候也有謀，所以在西蜀和嚴顏作戰的時候，他也用種種的計策把嚴顏也給打敗了。
「為兄復仇，百姓稱奇」：他要替他哥哥關羽報仇去，所以以後被軍官殺了，睜著眼睛，老百姓認為這個事情很不同凡響的。
又說偈曰：
豹頭環眼連鬢鬚 獅子一吼百獸懼
當陽橋畔威風凜 蘆花蕩前忠義極
出類拔萃奇男子 濟困扶危好英兒
將軍秉賦浩然氣 正直金剛人遠追
註解:
「豹頭環眼連鬢鬚」：言其頭角崢嶸，環眼－－圓眼睛，有連鬢絡腮的鬍鬚。
「獅子一吼百獸懼」：他在生的時候大喝一聲，把曹操那地方那個大將，給嚇得就從馬上掉下來，就死了，等於獅子一吼百獸皆懼似的。
「當陽橋畔威風凜」：在喝斷當陽橋的時候，喔！那也很威風的，曹操也嚇得不知怎麼好了，也不敢追他了。
「蘆花蕩前忠義極」：他在蘆花蕩那兒把阿斗從孫夫人(東吳孫權之妹)的懷裏給搶回來。如果被孫夫人給抱走了，劉備就變成沒有兒子了，以後阿斗也就提不到了。
「出類拔萃奇男子」：所以他很出乎其類，拔乎其萃的；奇男子，他是很特別的一個男子。
「濟困扶危好英兒」：他是願意幫助其他的人，有誰困難，他就幫助人解決困難。這是好英兒，他也是一個大英雄。
「將軍秉賦浩然氣」：他也和關公這種浩然正氣都是差不多的。
「正直金剛人遠追」：正直，好像怒目金剛那個樣子；人遠追，現在的人都要慎終追遠，差不離的都對張三爺很恭敬，很崇拜的。

[According to Reflections in Water and
Mirrors: Turning Back the Tides of Destiny, the Venerable
Master lectured this on May 25. However, according to the
notes of Upasika Guo Jie Chan, who attended the lecture, the
Master lectured it on June 6.]
A verse in praise says:
Valiant, brave and undaunted in war,
He found no match on the battlefield.
A single yell at Dangyang
Was enough to stir up doubts in Cao Cao's mind.
Within his coarseness, there was also finesse:
He managed to fool General Yan Yan.
He avenged his brother's death.
The populace was amazed by this.
Commentary:
Valiant, brave and undaunted in war, he found no
match on the battlefield. Everywhere he was
peerless in battle. At all times he could defeat his
enemies. A single yell at Dangyang / Was enough to
stir up doubts in Cao Cao's mind. One time, Cao Cao
was hot in pursuit of him in the battle of Dangyang. General
Zhang let out a loud cry, and the bridge collapsed. Cao Cao
was taken aback. He did not know what spiritual penetrations
or skill Zhang Fei had used to cause the bridge to collapse.
Thereupon Cao Cao did not dare pursue him anymore. This had
been enough to stir up doubts in Cao Cao's mind.
Within his coarseness, there was
also finesse. Sometimes he also used strategy. Once
in a battle with General Yan Yan, General Zhang devised
certain schemes and defeated Yan Yan. He managed to
fool General Yan Yan. He avenged his brother's death.
He wanted to avenge the death of his elder brother Guan Yu,
but as a result, he was murdered by one of his officers,
with his eyes open. The populace was amazed by this.
The people did not know what to think of it; they
thought this was very strange.
Another verse says:
He had a leopard's head, round eyes and a chain-like beard.
Emitting the lion's roar, he startled the hundred beasts.
In the battle at the bridge of Dangyang-how
magnificent was he!
The incident at Rush Flower River attests to his extreme
loyalty and righteousness.
What an outstanding and remarkable man:
He aided the oppressed and supported the imperiled, and was
a true hero indeed.
The general was endowed with a vast, magnanimous spirit.
Unchanging and straight like vajra, he will
be remembered forever
Commentary:
He had a leopard's head, round eyes and a
chain-like beard. He had a very prominent head,
round eyes and a beard like a chain. Emitting
the lion's roar, he startled the hundred beasts.
One time, in a fit of anger he let out a loud
yell. Cao Cao's general was so alarmed that he fell down
from his horse and died. And so Zhang Fei's yell was
like a lion's roar, striking fear into the hearts of the
hundred beasts. In the battle at the bridge of
Dangyang-how magnificent was he! The yell he
emitted at Dangyang Bridge knocked the bridge down. Cao
Cao got so scared that he didn't even dare pursue Zhang
Fei.
The incident at Rush Flower River attests to his extreme
loyalty and righteousness. At Rush Flower River he
snatched the young child emperor A Dou from Madame Sun,
because if Madame Sun took off with the child, Liu Bei
would be without an heir. What an outstanding and
remarkable man-he was exceptional, a very rare breed.
He
aided the oppressed and supported the imperiled, and was
a true hero indeed. He liked to help people who were in
need and solve their problems for them. He was a great
hero. The general was endowed with a vast, magnanimous
spirit. He had a righteous, vast spirit much like that
of General Guan Gung. Unchanging and straight like vajra,
he will be remembered forever. He was like a vajra
spirit who glared with his eyes. To this day, most
people still very much respect and admire Number-Three
Lord Zhang.
