"The Voice enlightens all."
For pride and wisdom, you lost your debate.
In ecstasy beyond measure, your true self is complete.
The waves of dharma, flooding, engulfing, overwhelming.
Your mindfulness is lost in the world of evil.
You question the sky, the earth, and Buddha，
One wrong step and every step thereafter repeats.
Here the winner loses, the losers win. The risen falls, the fallen rises.
You know how to save the lost in evil's heartbeat.
May your body serve this land since
The teachings of golden form shrouds all beings in their deceit.
This text starts with a simple claim: "The Voice enlightens all." That sets up a spiritual or teaching force that aims to bring understanding. The next line addresses you directly: you lost a debate because of your pride and your wisdom. In other words, your confidence and your knowledge led you into a defeat — a turning point rather than a simple argument lost.
After that defeat something profound happens to you: in a state described as "ecstasy beyond measure" your true self becomes complete. At the same time, "the waves of dharma" — the flood of teaching or doctrine — wash over you, so strongly that your mindfulness gets lost in a world full of evil. So there is both a peak spiritual experience and a dangerous disorientation where right awareness slips away.
You begin to question everything: sky, earth, and even Buddha. The poem warns that a single wrong step has a cascading effect — once you err, every step after that repeats. That describes a trap of repetition, a pattern where one mistake causes ongoing cycles rather than forward progress.
The text then describes a world of reversals: winners can become losers and losers can become winners; those who rise can fall and vice versa. In the middle of that unstable, inverted reality, you are said to know how to save those who are lost "in evil's heartbeat." So despite confusion and reversals, you retain or gain a method to rescue people caught in corruption.
The closing plea asks that your body serve the land because "the teachings of golden form" shroud all beings in their deceit. The implication is that false or dazzling teachings hide the truth for most people, so you are being called on to act in the world — to use your body and presence to counter deceptive teachings and help others, since mere words or prideful wisdom have already failed.
