98.2

Ven. Zhigong's gāthā says:
"Suddenly awakening to the citta-source unlocks the jewel treasury;
Hidden or apparent, spiritual traces reveal the true reality.
Walking alone, sitting alone, ever towering and grand;
Transformative bodies by the hundred billions, beyond count or number.
Even if they packed and filled empty space,
When looked at, not the sign of a single dust mote is seen.
How laughable that empty things have nothing to compare;
The mouth spits out a bright pearl, brilliantly shining.
Constantly in the ordinary world one hears of the inconceivable;
A single word marks the source, hitting the mark as it is spoken."
