1.78

One day the Master arrived at Mingyue Hermitage and saw a skull painted on the wall. Feng Jichuan had inscribed a verse saying: 'The corpse is right here, / Where is the person? / Thus one knows the single spirit / Does not reside in the skin bag.' The Master did not approve and composed a verse saying: 'This very physical frame / Is that very person. / The single spirit is the skin bag; / The skin bag is the single spirit.'
