1.23

Ascending the hall, the Master said: "Under the gate of Fenyang, there is a Lion of Xihe crouching right at the gate; whenever anyone comes, he bites them to death immediately. By what expedient means can one enter Fenyang's gate and see the man of Fenyang? If you see the man of Fenyang, you are capable of being a master to ancestors and buddhas; if you do not see the man of Fenyang, you are all just dead fellows standing on the ground. Is there anyone today who can enter the gate? Quickly enter, lest you waste your whole life. If you are not a guest of the Dragon Gate, beware of having your forehead marked. Which one is a guest of the Dragon Gate? All of you are marked!" Raising his staff, he said: "Retreat quickly, retreat quickly!"
