离俗偕从弟

公与从弟富国手足情深。兄友弟恭。富国对佛法亦素有研讨。故与公志同道合。趣味相投。是以于十九之年探悉福州鼓山之旅程。偕富国同往。别时作皮袋歌一章赠田谭二氏。

宣化偈曰：
佛化堂弟度阿难。公偕富国上鼓山。
殊途同归一鼻孔。彼丈夫兮我亦然。

Being accompanied by his cousin Fu Kuo, he leaves laylife behind

Between the Master and his first cousin Fu Kuo was a deep bond of brotherly friendship and respect. Fu Kuo also had previously explored the Buddhadharma and had the same aspiration as the Master, so they amicably traveled the Path together. In his nineteenth year, the Master, accompanied by Fu Kuo, started the journey to Ku Shan (Drum Mountain) in Fu Chou to leave home. Before leaving, he wrote the "Ode to the Skinbag" which he left behind for the T'ien and T'an women.

The verse says:
The Buddha instructed his first cousin, crossing Ananda over.
The Master brought along Fu Kuo and ascended Ku Shan Mountain.
Although from different walks of life, they shared the same intent.
How like the courageous heroes of old was the Master Yun!
