日日事無別 Daily, nothing particular,

惟吾自偶諧 Only nodding to myself,

頭頭非取捨 Nothing to choose, nothing to discard.

處處沒張乖 No coming, no going,

朱紫誰爲號 No person in purple,

邱山絶塵埃 Blue mountains without a speck of dust.

神通並妙用 I exercise occult and subtle power,

運水及搬柴 Carrying water, shouldering firewood.

Hõ Koji (Hõ was his family, Koji a title of respect for a lay student of Zen) studied first with Sekitõ and then with Baso, who he succeeded. When he first met Sekitõ, he asked, 'Who is he that is independent of all things?' Before he had finished asking this, Sekitõ covered Koji's mouth with his hand.
