20.130

The Way is not in paints; / Chan is not in the facial form. / Forced to depict it, / what likeness can praise make of it? / For now, taking what is already at hand, / I speak once for you: / seeking the divine pearl in the Red Waters, / finding it was due to Xiangwang. / Old awl Yuanwu, / in old age has no artifice. / Chan Practitioner Ying, take it away; / rolling up white waves that inundate heaven.
