The “Evening” Bell Chant
“In the morning and dusk, when walking, standing, sitting or sleeping, as soon as you hear the sound of the bell, recite this verse.”
晨昏於行住坐臥間。一聞鐘聲時。即誦此偈呪。
“supposing we practice without results” (設行不得)
“Hearing [the dharma] even without faith still fructifies into the seed of buddhahood. Training even without success is still superior to the merit of humans and divinities.”

“You must deeply perceive the true nature of yourself, the Buddha, and everything as being in accord with dependent arising. And you must have absolute faith that the Buddhas and Bodhisattvas always respond to your prayers, as certainly as shadows follow form and echoes follow sound.”
“They will all necessarily become wild foxes.”
