poem #477

The bed-wetting imp is a man in great distress.

Old Ding has the right trick, the power of his blessings is deep.

Night rain. Before the lamp, confusion is already forgotten.

In the fūryū tea-house, chanting ancient times.

Shaman Mountain, the dream of the King of Chu, clouds and rain.

The Blue Cliff Record sets out this case:

Jingqing asked a monk, “What’s that sound outside?”

The monk said, “The sound of rain drops.”

Jingqing said, “Sentient beings are all topsy-turvy. They delude themselves pursuing things outside themselves.”
