What is the Original Face?
Even if the sea were to be divided and the mountains were to be turned over, it would not be a big thing in fact in front of the eye of wisdom. Though miracles are done in the name of the truth, they don't compose the truth but they are no more then phenomena that appear and disappear in the truth.
What a pity it is that, deceived by words or phenomena, the foolish make others blind without knowing themselves deceived! You should neither be deceived nor deceive others by lighting the lantern of wisdom since a moment of foolish mind will make you uncomfortable for kalpa.
What is the original face? Willow leaves are green and maple leaves are red.
