偈曰∶口中言少，心头事少，腹里食少，自然睡少。有此四少，长生可了。
万物并非独立于我之外的存在，而是与我同属一个整体。世间幻化出的各种形态，都在辅助成就生命的生机。人需要外物，用来制作衣物和食物。药材以及生活器皿，缺少任何一样都不算完备；无论是飞翔、潜游的动物还是植物，万千物种都为人所用。大自然的恩德何其宏大，随意杀戮便是暴虐残忍。蜉蝣与蛇蝇，早晨出生晚上就死亡；龟、鹤、麋鹿等动物，吃得少且服食元气，竟然能度过多年岁月，人为什么不如这些生物呢？如果只贪图衣食享受，就会荒废对生死的参悟。如果能断绝过度的嗜好与欲望，那么“物”与“我”就能达到一致和谐的状态。
行走时如同盲人没有拐杖，向内观照以审视本性。抬脚要低缓，脚踏实地之后才继续前进。每一步都这样，时时警惕急躁快行。世间的道路在忙碌中容易出错，缓慢行走才能保持平安。站立时如同面临悬崖的马匹，又像到达岸边的舟船。收回目光急切返照内心，认清当下立足之处。不离开当下的念头，存心不要追求身外之事。懂得停止就要知道停止，留神守护内心的虚空宁静。身体立定不要倾斜，形体端正身体自然稳固。耳目随着心意安静下来，如同静止的水和明亮的镜子。外界事物任凭纷繁复杂，当下即是究竟真理。
静坐时像山丘一样沉重，端身正坐严肃仪容。闭口深藏舌头，呼吸从鼻出入。每一次呼吸都回归丹田（元海），气充足精神自然充裕。气息渗透骨骼并滋润骨髓，出神之前先入定。躺卧时像簸箕形状弯曲，左右随其适宜。两膝常常一高一低，两足像钩子一样有力。双手常放在腹部，抚摸肚脐和下体。睾丸时常搓动，如同龙戏珠的姿势。疲倦了就侧身睡觉，睡中自然不迷失。醒来再伸脚，仰卧也不拘束。梦境与觉醒浑然无异，经过九年的实证修行，超越生死的关卡，达到究竟如来的意境。关于行住坐卧的篇章，只有这才是真谛。
易筋功已经练完，便成就了金刚之体。外邪不能侵袭，饮食不会积滞。虽然如此，仍担心七情（喜、怒、忧、思、悲、恐、惊）伤害身体，导致元神无法自我持守。虽然具备金刚的外相，但仍然是血肉之躯。必须参照《洗髓经》的方法，吃得少多吸入清气。进行干沐浴（摩擦皮肤），按摩眼睛后再按摩鼻子。抚摸面部又旋转按摩耳朵，不必拘泥于次数。闭眼常观察鼻尖，合口任由鼻息自然呼吸。度数暗中调和，身体安定精神也就安定。每天五更起床，吐出浊气吸纳清新的阳气。睁开眼就开始舒展化解，切勿贪恋酣睡。铺着厚褥子盘腿打坐，宽松解开腰间的带子。右膝包左膝，调息时舌尖抵住上颚。胁腹运转尾闾穴，摇动肩膀用手推肚子。分合按压并举起，握固拳头按压双膝。鼻中呼吸绵长，绵绵进入海底（会阴）。有津液就连续吞咽，用意念送入腹部。叩齿鸣天鼓，两手都捂住肚脐。伸直脚抵住脚趾，呼吸三十六次。双手按摩完毕，很久之后才盘膝。直起身顿两脚，洗髓功已经结束。慢慢站起来，行走稳步才移动。忙碌中恐怕出错，缓慢行走定为常规。三年加九年，平息心思并洗涤杂念。气息渗透骨骼滋润骨髓，脱去谷食飞升而去。逐渐接近浑然化天的境界，达到最后的究竟之地。于是说偈语道：口中言语少，心头事情少，腹里食物少，自然睡眠少。拥有这四种少，长生就可以达成。
All things are not separate from me, but form a single entity with me. The illusory forms that emerge all assist in sustaining life's vitality. Humans require objects to serve as clothing and food. Medicinal herbs and vessels, if any one is missing, the completeness is lacking; flying, diving creatures, and plants, all myriad species are utilized by humans. How immense is the grace of Creation! Wanton killing is violent and cruel. Mayflies and flies, born in the morning and dying at dusk; turtles, cranes, elk, and deer, eating little and absorbing Qi, manage to live for many years. Why do humans not compare favorably with these creatures? If one only covets clothing and food, one squanders the understanding of life and death. If one can cut off excessive desires and cravings, then "objects" and "self" will achieve unity.
Walking should be like a blind person without a cane, looking inward to illuminate one's nature. Lift the foot low and slowly; only step firmly before advancing further. Every step should be like this; always guard against hasty walking. On the worldly path, mistakes happen amidst busyness; slow steps ensure peace and safety. Standing should be like a horse facing a cliff, or like a boat reaching the shore. Turn your light back to shine inwardly; recognize the place where you firmly stand. Do not depart from the present thought; keep your mind focused, do not engage in external affairs. Knowing when to stop, know how to stop; pay attention to guarding the empty valley within. Stand firm without tilting; if the form is upright, the body naturally becomes solid. Ears and eyes quiet down with the heart, like still water and a bright mirror. Let matters come and go纷繁ly; the present moment is the ultimate truth.
Sitting should be heavy like a hill, sitting upright with solemn demeanor. Close the mouth and hide the tongue deeply; breath enters and exits through the nose. Each breath returns to the Yuan Sea (Lower Dantian); when Qi is sufficient, Spirit is naturally abundant. Penetrating bones and nourishing marrow, emerging from Spirit requires first entering Samadhi (meditative absorption). Lying down should be curved like a winnowing basket, left or right according to convenience. Knees often stagger; feet hook like claws. Hands remain on the abdomen, touching the navel and lower body. Testicles are rubbed occasionally, resembling the posture of a dragon playing with a pearl. When tired, sleep on the side; in sleep, one does not lose awareness. Only after waking extend the legs; lying on the back is also unrestricted. Dream and awakening are indistinguishable; nine years of practical verification transcend the pass of life and death, reaching the ultimate intent of Tathagata. The chapter on Walking, Standing, Sitting, and Lying contains only this true principle.
Once Yi Jin Gong (Muscle/Tendon Changing Exercise) is completed, a Diamond Body is formed. External pathogens cannot invade, and food and drink do not accumulate. Yet, fearing injury from the Seven Emotions, the Primordial Spirit may not hold itself. Although possessing the appearance of a Diamond body, it remains a flesh-and-blood frame. One must follow the Xi Sui Jing (Marrow Washing Scripture): eat less, absorb more clear Qi. Perform dry bathing (rubbing the skin), massage the eyes then the nose. Touch the face and rotate the ears; do not be bound by numbers. Keep eyes closed observing the tip of the nose; close the mouth allowing nasal breathing to flow freely. Numbers harmonize secretly; when the body settles, the Spirit settles. Wake up at Wugeng (early morning); exhale turbidity, inhale clear warmth. Open eyes and begin to stretch and resolve; do not greedily indulge in deep sleep. Sit cross-legged on thick cushions, loosely untie the waist belt. Right knee covers left knee; regulate breath with tongue touching the palate. Move the flanks and operate the Weilu (tailbone area); shake shoulders and push the belly with hands. Separate, combine, press, and lift; hold the Gu (firm grip) posture pressing both knees. Nasal breathing is continuous, flowing continuously into the Haidi (Huiyin point). Swallow saliva continuously, sending it to the abdomen with intention. Tap teeth and ring the heavenly drum; cover the navel with both hands. Extend feet to touch toes; breathe thirty-six times. After hand massage is complete, sit cross-legged for a long time. Straighten the body and stomp twice; Xi Sui Gong (Marrow Washing Exercise) is finished. Rise slowly; walk steadily before moving. Fearing errors in haste, slow walking is the fixed rule. Three years plus nine years; calm the mind and wash away thoughts. Penetrate bones and nourish marrow; shed grain and fly away. Gradually approach the state of merging with Heaven, reaching the final ultimate ground. Thus speaks the Gatha: Few words in the mouth, few matters in the heart, little food in the belly, naturally little sleep. With these four reductions, longevity can be achieved.
