12.156
上無片瓦蓋頭，下無卓錐之地，赤骨𩪸箇渾身，與人爭甚閑氣，些子無明不奈何，說甚祖師西來意。
Above, not a single tile to cover his head; / Below, not an inch of ground to plant an awl. / Stripped stark naked over his whole body, / What idle breath does he fight over with others? / Unable to do anything about a bit of ignorance, / What is he saying about the meaning of the Patriarch's coming from the West?
