今日圆满十禅七，
改头换面发菩提；
常握金刚智慧剑，
纵横南北与东西。
Today we complete ten weeks of Chan.
Putting on a new face, we make the Bodhi resolve.
Always wield the Vajra sword of wisdom.
Up and down, north, south, east and west.
今天是十个禅七圆满日。不管往昔如何，只要我们从今以后，重新做人，改头换面，重头再练，跟以前的贪心鬼完全不同，就可以了。我们不要像以前一样，尽在人我是非上用功夫，而要发大菩提心。
This is the last day of the ten-week Chan session. No matter how we were in the past, from now on, all we need to do is to become new people, to put on new faces, and to start fresh, being totally different from the greedy ghosts of the past. Instead of always discriminating between self and others and rights and wrongs as we did in the past, let's make a great Bodhi resolve.
要常握着金刚王智慧宝剑，不要愚痴；不愚痴就不会做颠倒事。为什么颠倒？因为愚痴无明，昏昧幽暗。应该时时拿着金刚智慧剑，纵横南北与东西，遨游天下，愿意到那里就到那里，也就是无人无我，无拘无束，大自在无是无非的境界。
We should constantly wield the Vajra King's Jeweled Sword of Wisdom, and get rid of stupidity. If we weren't stupid, we wouldn't do upside-down things. Why are we upside-down? It's because of stupidity, ignorance, and dark confusion. We should always grasp the Vajra Sword of Wisdom, roaming upwards, downwards, to the north, south, east, or west, throughout the world, going wherever we please. That's the state of great freedom in which there is no self and no others, no restrictions, and no rights or wrongs.
