氣回丹自結，壺中配坎離。 |
With prana reverted, elixir will be
borne by itself,
as Kan [i.e. water] and Li
[i.e. fire] concocted in the pot. |
|
修行人性不迷塵事，則氣自回，將見二炁升降於中宮，陰陽配合於丹鼎。忽覺腎中一縷熱炁上衝心府。情來歸性，如夫婦配合，如癡如醉。二氣絪縕，結成丹質。而炁穴中水火相交，循環不已。則神馭炁、炁留形，不必雜術自長生。訣曰：耳目口三寶，閉塞勿發通。真人潛深淵，浮游守規中。直至丹田氣滿，結成刀圭也。 |
If the
practitioner does not lost the nature of his mind in dusty things,
then prana will revert by itself, and will see the two prana
ascending and descending in the middle house, and Yin and
Yang concoct in the field of
elixir. Suddenly one feel a wisp of hot prana surging
from within the kidneys up to the heart viscera. Emotion return to
the source of the mind, like the mating of husband and wive,
infatuated as if drunk. The two prana mist, and bear the matter of
the elixir. And in the den of prana, fire and water intersects
recurringly. Then spirit drives prana, and prana stays to take
shape. No need for extra magical formula, one can long live. The
knack says, "Block the three treasures of the ear, eyes and
mouth, do not open up. The real man dives in the abyss, floating and
swimming, keeping to the centre of the circle, until prana is full
in the field of elixir, and give birth to Daogui". |

陰陽生反覆，普化一聲雷。 |
Yin and
Yang generated repeatedly by each
other,
until generalized into a clap of
thunder. |
|
功夫到此，神不外馳，氣不外洩。神歸炁穴，坎離已交，愈加猛烈精進。致虛之極，守靜之篤。身靜於杳冥之中，心澄於無何有之鄉。則真息自住，百脈自停。日月停景，璇璣不行。太極靜而生動，陽產於西南之坤。坤即腹也，又名曲江。忽然一點靈光，如黍米之大，即藥生消息也。赫然光透，兩腎如湯煎，膀胱如火炙。腹中如烈風之吼，腹內如震雷之聲，即復卦天根現也。天根現，即固心王。以神助之，則其炁如火逼金，上行穿過尾閭。輕輕運，默默舉。一團和氣，如雷之震，上升泥丸。週身湧躍，即天風姤卦也。由月窟至印堂眉中，漏出元光，即太極動而生陰。化成神水甘露，內有黍米之珠。落在黃庭之中，點我離中靈汞，結成聖相之體。行周天火候一度，烹之煉之，丹自結矣。 |
Practice up to here, the spirit does
not gallop outward, and prana does not leak out. The spirit returns
to the den of prana, with
the hexagram Kan [i.e. water] and Li [i.e.
fire] already concocted - more and more violently and advanced.
Effect to blank the mind perseveringly, keep to silence absorbedly.
The body in silence amid far-reaching darkness, and mind crystal
clear in the place of no being. Then real prana will reside by
itself, and hundred veins of prana will stop by itself. The sun and
moon stop changing phase, and the stars stop revolving. The Tai Chi
generates dynamism from pure silence, pure Yang is
produced from Kun in southwest. In our body, the hexagram
Kun represents the abdomen, also represents the intestines
which is also called the winding river. Suddenly a spot of light of
the soul is seen within, big as a millet grain. This is the drugs of
the elixir generating tidings. Illustriously red light penetrates,
with the two kidneys as if boiled or fried, and the urinary bladder
as if roasted. Inside the abdomen sounds as if raging wind is
roaring and thunders shaking. This is the heavenly root
emerging, namely the hexagram Fu. When heavenly root emerges,
then secure mind-king. Assist it
with the spirit, then its prana will be like fire approaching metal,
and will move upwards through the aperture at the coccyx. Convey
lightly, and lift silently. Like the hexagram Shaking of Thunder (Zhen), a ball
of prana harmoniously rise up to the aperture on top of the
head. Then the body is vibrant all over, which is the hexagram
"Heaven-Wind Meet"
(Gou). From the
lunar cave [i.e. cave of the mind], then to in between the
eyebrows, and leaks out primordial light, this is the Tai Chi moves
to generate Yin. And
manifest into the sweet dew of the water of the spirit, with the
millet pearl
inside. Descend into the middle of the yellow court, spot the
spiritual mercury inside Li [i.e. fire], and give birth to
the body of holy appearance. Go through one cycle of degree of
heating, cook it and refine it, then the elixir will be borne by
itself. |

白雲朝頂上，甘露灑須彌。 |
White clouds pilgrim to above our head,
and
sprinkle sweet dew on Meru [i.e. on top of our
head]. |
|
到此地位，藥即得矣。二氣結刀圭，關竅開通。火降水升，一炁周流。從太極中動天根，過玄谷關。升二十四椎骨節，至天谷關。月窟陰生，香甜美味。降下重樓，無休無息，名曰甘露灑須彌。訣曰：甘露滿口，以目送之，以意迎之。送下丹釜，凝結元氣以養之。 |
Up to this
status, the drugs for the elixir are already gained. The two prana
bear the Daogui, and gates and apertures
open unimpeded. Fire descends and water rises, one prana flow
all over. From amid the Tai Chi, the heavenly root is stirred.
Passing through the gate of stream of hsuan, rise up the bones and
joints of the twenty four vertebrae, to the gate of heavenly
stream. From the lunar cave [i.e. the cave of the mind], Yin is
generated, deliciously sweet and fragrant. Descending the
multi-storey mansion [i.e. the throat], restlessly and ceaselessly,
named as sprinkle sweet dew on Meru. The knack
says, "With sweet dew full month, send it with the eyes, and
receive it with intention. Send it down into the field of
elixir, congeal primordial
prana to nourish
it." |
