3.123
"A donkey peering into a well;(Rising early at the fifth watch,)
A well peering at a donkey.(There is still a night traveler.)
Wisdom accommodates without an exterior;(Monks throughout the world cannot leap out.)
Purity contains with a surplus.(The myriad images cannot escape their reflections and forms.)
Who can share the seal behind the elbow?(The heavenly eye and dragon pupil cannot peer into it.)
In the house, no books are kept.(The true scripture is not vinegar.)
The loom's threads do not hang upon the work at the shuttle's head;(The flowers are not harmed,)
Yet the patterns run crisscross and the meaning is spontaneously distinct."(And the honey is produced.)
