A round marble has been clearly bright for long.

Linking it inward and outward but nothing can be found.

Manipulating with phenomena will result a random image.

No head and no hands can be seen.

This marble is immortal even when world is destroyed.

Listen to me if you are still not enlightened.

Just hide it as is now without any word.

(12 of 12 verses, by Ancient Chinese Monk Zi-Gong, Liang Dynasty)

 十二时颂–鸡鸣丑。

一颗圆珠明已久。

内外接寻觅总无。

境上施为浑大有。

不见头，又无手。

世界坏时渠不朽。

未了之人听一言。

只遮如今谁动口。
