3.13
Ascending the hall, he said: “Beating waves on the mountain peak, raising dust at the bottom of the well; the eyes listen like striking thunder, the ears look like unfurling brocade; the three hundred and sixty joints, each manifests a boundless wondrous body; the eighty-four thousand hair-tips, each reveals oceans of lands of the Jewel King—this is not supernatural function, nor is it naturally so as Dharma. If only the thousand eyes can open at once, directly beneath, the ten directions are cut off. But how do you speak a phrase that is transcendent and uniquely liberated? Testing jade requires passing through fire; seeking a pearl does not depart from mud.”
