9.76

Demeanor craggy and severe; / brow and eyes warm and gentle. / Branching out from a single vein, / issuing from the source at the Kunlun Mountains. / The hundred streams swallowing the tide / descend to the roots of coral. / Clear and distant wind and mist are the traces of autumn; / lofty and lush grass and trees are the bounty of spring. / The shuttle on the ancient wall is the bones of a slumbering dragon; / the jade ring in the cold pool is the soul of the night moon. / Aged hair and thinning beard, / snow on the crown and silk on the chin. / A square head like a chisel; / a blunt mouth like a mallet. / Meeting him, casually enjoy it; / accustomed to taking advantage. / Venerable Chen whose straw sandals were cheap; / repaying Teacher Wang for the broth money. / When phenomena do not fit worldly passions, / with equality one attains the learning of stillness and wisdom. / When the mind has nowhere to abide, / one naturally sees the moment of subtle detachment.
