Preliminary translation | 大德真君所寫的反省自責詩 | True Sage of Great Virtue’s self-reflecting and self-deprecating poem | | 根鈍冤愆重，智昏罪業深 | Dim witted, karmic debt heavy, No wisdom, sins run deep | | 考魔原自惹，豈敢怨天人 | Trials are self-created, neither Heaven nor people to blame | | 徒負沖天志，空懷救世心 | Vowing to return to Heaven, alas, my promise cannot keep | | 所行多欠當，實有愧師恩 | Lacking adequate achievement, by Teacher’s grace, I have much shame | |
| 大德真君販賣豆乾維持辦道開支 | True Sage of Great Virtue’s poem on selling bean curd to support the temple | | 晨起提籃街巷穿 | Out early with basket, winding through alleys | | 沿門叫賣五香乾 | Peddling five-spice bean curd on the street | | 喉嚨喝破無人理 | Hawking all day, thirsty, yet without tallies | | 徒感筋疲腿足酸 | All in vain, aching legs and feet | |
