To Enter the Gate

Description:
入門便喝,全無巴鼻。引得兒孫,弄粥飯氣。 入門便棒,郎當不少,依而行之,胡麻廝繳。
If one enters the gate and is shouted at right away,
There will be no way even to lead an ox by the nose;
To lead sons and grandsons,
Fool them with the smell of gruel and rice.
If one enters the gate and is immediately clubbed;
There will be many discouragements.
However, by relying on and practicing the teachings,
Something as small as sesame seeds can be bound together.
