若干種性本來同，海納無窮。千思萬慮終成妄，般般色色和融。有日功完行滿，圓明法性高隆。休教差別走西東，緊鎖牢籠。收來安放丹爐內，煉得金烏一樣紅。朗朗輝輝嬌艷，任教出入乘龍。

All the many kinds of nature are at root the same,an ocean taking in the boundless.A thousand thoughts, ten thousand cares end in delusion;every kind and every form blend into one.One day, when merit is complete and practice full,the perfect, radiant Dharma-nature rises high.Do not let distinctions send it straying east and west:keep it firmly locked within its cage.Gather it and place it in the elixir furnace;refine it till it glows as red as the Golden Crow.Bright and shining, lovely in its splendour,let it come and go at will upon a dragon.
話表三藏遵菩薩教旨，收了行者，與八戒、沙僧剪斷二心，鎖籠猿馬，同心戮力，趕奔西天。說不盡光陰似箭，日月如梭。歷過了夏月炎天，卻又值三秋霜景。但見那：
薄雲斷絕西風緊，鶴鳴遠岫霜林錦。光景正蒼涼，山長水更長。征鴻來北塞，玄鳥歸南陌。客路怯孤單，衲衣容易寒。

Now, Sanzang obeyed the Bodhisattva’s teaching and took Pilgrim back. With Bajie and Sha Monk, they cut off their divided minds, caged the monkey and horse, and worked together with one heart, pressing on toward the Western Heaven. There is no end to telling how time flies like an arrow and the days and months pass like a shuttle. They had travelled through the blazing days of summer, and now encountered the frosty scenes of autumn. This is what they saw:
Thin clouds break apart, the west wind blows hard;cranes call on distant peaks, frost makes the woods brocade.The scene is bleak and chill;the mountains stretch far, the waters farther still.Travelling geese come from the northern frontier;dark swallows return to the southern fields.On the traveller’s road, loneliness brings fear;a patched monk’s robe soon lets in the cold.
師徒四眾進前行處，漸覺熱氣蒸人。三藏勒馬道：「如今正是秋天，卻怎返有熱氣？」八戒道：「原來不知。西方路上有個斯哈哩國，乃日落之處，俗呼為天盡頭。若到申酉時，國王差人上城，擂鼓吹角，混雜海沸之聲。日乃太陽真火，落於西海之間，如火淬水，接聲滾沸。若無鼓角之聲混耳，即振殺城中小兒。此地熱氣蒸人，想必到日落之處也。」大聖聽說，忍不住笑道：「獃子莫亂談。若論斯哈哩國，正好早哩。似師父朝三暮二的這等擔閣，就從小至老，老了又小，老小三生，也還不到。」八戒道：「哥啊！據你說，不是日落之處，為何這等酷熱？」沙僧道：「想是天時不正，秋行夏令故也。」他三個正都爭講，只見那路傍有座莊院，乃是紅瓦蓋的房舍，紅磚砌的垣牆，紅油門扇，紅漆板榻，一片都是紅的。三藏下馬道：「悟空，你去那人家問個消息，看那炎熱之故何也？」

As master and his three disciples went on, they gradually felt a heat that steamed their bodies. Sanzang reined in his horse. “It’s autumn now. Why is there heat instead?” Bajie said, “So you don’t know! On the western road there’s a kingdom of Sihali, the place where the sun sets, commonly called the End of Heaven. At the hours of Shen and You, the king sends men up onto the city wall to beat drums and blow horns, mingling their noise with the roar of the boiling sea. The sun is the true fire of supreme yang. When it drops into the West Sea, it’s like plunging fire into water: the sea boils with a roar. Without the drums and horns to confuse the ears, the sound would shake the city’s little children to death. This place is steaming hot, so we must have reached the place where the sun sets.” The Great Sage could not help laughing. “Idiot, stop talking nonsense! As for Sihali, we’re nowhere near it yet. With Master forever changing his mind — three in the morning and two at night — and delaying us like this, we could go from childhood to old age, turn young again and live three lifetimes of young and old, and still not get there.” “Brother!” Bajie said. “If, as you say, this isn’t where the sun sets, why is it so dreadfully hot?” Sha Monk said, “Perhaps the seasons are out of order, and autumn is following summer’s rule.” While the three were arguing, they saw a farmstead beside the road: houses roofed with red tiles, walls built of red bricks, doors painted with red oil paint and wooden couches lacquered red — everything red. Sanzang dismounted. “Wukong, go and ask at that house. Find out why it’s so hot.”
