7.36
Ascending the hall, he said: "Great assembly: In midwinter's bitter cold, across thousands and myriads of mountains, dripping water freezes in drops, forming blocks and masses. It freezes so hard that Bodhidharma's front teeth fall out, freezes so hard that the golden crow's beak turns round. The bright mirror stands before the dais by the side of the secluded cave; look further at the pair of phoenixes dancing with the solitary luan." He added: "A single drop of the golden-maned lion's milk / bursts apart ten bushels of donkey's milk. / Reviving a dead man on level ground, / like the earth supporting mountains, like stone containing jade."
