11.7

"Now, the Dao resides in pure emptiness, and the four great elements follow their regular principles; yet there is a Dharma-door that wondrously transcends all realms. If one praises its skillful ability to benefit creatures and deliver countless beings as its teaching, why does he not show his true form in the world, speaking only of emptiness without actual reality? Now I am earnestly inquiring into the root source of the Western regions. I humbly wish that the Great Upādhyāya will deign to accept this with indulgence, and in your humble heart will not withhold spiritual instruction. Disciple Li Miao respectfully bows."
