4.33

Requesting the karmadāna, the canon keeper, the guest prefect, and the attendant, [the Master] ascended the hall and said: "Before the mallet and anvil sound, in what land do the Buddhas abide? Before the mechanism's wheel turns, the One Vehicle does not pertain to names and words. When guest and host blend and fuse, why must the layman bow again? When the family style is harmonious and settled, the National Teacher need not call three times. If one can be like this, internally merit and achievement are cut off, and externally there are no sharp edges. Can you understand it thoroughly? / Roaring at the moon, the mud ox can enter the sea; / neighing in the wind, the wooden horse knows how to roam in spring."
