10.24
Head: the primary, the secondary! (In my King's treasury there is no such thing. An exemplar for past and present. What are you doing following evil and pursuing wickedness?)
The crouching dragon does not look into still water. (Only those of the same Path know it.)
Where there is no [dragon], the moon shines and waves are calm; (A lone boat sailing alone across the four seas. What bowl are you seeking in vainly calculating?)
Where there is [a dragon], waves rise without wind. (Scaring people to death! Do you feel your hairs standing on end? Struck, he says, "Coming!")
Chan traveler Leng! Chan traveler Leng! (Luring in thieves to ruin the house. Do not stick your head out in the noisy marketplace! Losing money and suffering punishment.)
In the third month at Yu's Gate, he suffered a point on the forehead! (Yielding oneself to others. Not one in ten thousand. He can only swallow his anger and hold his breath.)
