He Seeks the Dharma with a True Mind;

　　the Patriarch Transmits It to Him

　　真心求法　祖師傳法

　　Patriarch Bodhidharma took a look, "Really

　　 Ah! It really is red snow." Actually, the Patriarch had the intention of helping him, he just wanted to test his true mind.

　　達摩祖師一看，“真的嗎？啊！這真是紅雪！”這本來早就在意料之中，就是要考驗他的真心。

　　Well, the Patriarch was moved and said, "I did not come to China for nothing, after all! I have met someone who seeks the Dharma with a true mind, to the point he could cut off his own arm for the sake of Dharma. He truly has a bit of sincerity! All right! I will transmit the Dharma to you."

　　一見這個，達摩祖師就很感動了：“噢！我這趟到中國還真是沒有白來，還遇著你這麼一個真心求法修道的人，能爲法斷臂，連自己的臂膀都不要了，這是真有一點誠心。好啦！就傳法給你。”

　　Thus, the Patriarch taught him with the Dharma door of a mind-to-mind seal and certification. He taught him with a direct pointing to the human mind that would allow him to see the nature and realize Buddhahood. He taught him how to cultivate it and how to apply effort. He said, "In China, you are the second patriarch," and transmitted to Dharma Master Shen Guang the Proper Dharma Eye Treasury, the Wonderful Mind of Nirvana.

　　于是就爲他說以心印心的法門──教他直指人心、見性成佛這種的法門，教他怎麼樣修行，怎麼樣用功，說：“在中國，你是第二代祖師。”就把正法眼藏、涅槃妙心傳給他。
