如淨和尚語錄 2.138

2.138

Formerly he went from Taibai to Lingxiao; / Today he comes from Lingxiao to Taibai. / Not falling into the paths of coming, going, birth, or death— / Unrolling the portrait, he said: / Look at his imposing face, laughing heartily! / And tell me: / At whom is he laughing? / Pointing with the portrait to the Patriarch, he said: / Everyone originally was the host among hosts, / Accustomed to entering donkey wombs and horse wombs.
