English version: Feeling sleepy from hunger, he wanted to sleep. The Layman asked Lingzhao (name of a Buddhist nun), 'If it is said that 'clearly, the meaning of the ancestral teacher is in the myriad plants', how do you understand it?' Lingzhao replied, 'So old, yet still speaking such words.' The Layman asked, 'How do you understand it?' Lingzhao replied, 'Clearly, the meaning of the ancestral teacher is in the myriad plants.' The Layman laughed heartily. Once, while together under a bridge selling filtering baskets, the Layman accidentally fell. Seeing this, Lingzhao also fell to the ground. The Layman asked, 'What are you doing?' Lingzhao replied, 'Seeing my father fall, I am here to help him up.' When the Layman was about to enter Nirvana (death), he said to Lingzhao, 'Check the time of the sun, and inform me when it is noon.' Lingzhao went out and immediately reported, 'The sun is already at its zenith, and there is an eclipse. You can try to watch it briefly.' The Layman asked, 'Is there really an eclipse?' Lingzhao replied, 'Yes, there is.' The Layman left his seat and went to the window. Lingzhao then sat cross-legged on the bed in the lotus position (a Buddhist sitting posture) and passed away peacefully. The Tea-Brewing Woman Magu (a Zen monk), Nanquan (a Zen monk), and three others went to visit Jingshan (name of a mountain and temple). On the way, they met an old woman. They asked, 'Which way leads to Jingshan?' The old woman said, 'Go straight ahead.' Magu asked, 'Is the water ahead deep? Can we cross it?' The old woman said, 'Your feet won't get wet.' They asked again, 'The rice on the bank grows so well, but the rice by the water is so weak?' The old woman said, 'They have all been eaten by crabs.' They asked again, 'The rice smells so fragrant.' The old woman said, 'There is no scent.' They asked again, 'Where do you live, Granny?' The old woman said, 'Right here.' The three arrived at the shop. The old woman brewed a pot of tea and brought three cups, saying, 'Those monks who have supernatural powers can drink the tea.' The three looked at each other. The old woman said, 'Watch this old woman display her supernatural powers.' Then she picked up a cup, poured tea, and left. (Hanshan (a monk of the Ming Dynasty) commented: 'Which way leads to Jingshan? Go straight ahead.' Stop here. These blindly following people, if they know some depth under their feet, recognize some good and bad in their eyes, and can distinguish some fragrance and stench with their noses, then it is worth the old woman pointing out a place to live. What supernatural powers are you looking for? At that time, lightly, overturn the teapot, and leave. See the old woman complete a cup of conversation, but how to end it? Do you still understand the old woman, wasting time and busy with such losses? The sword leaves the treasure box for injustice.)' --------------------------------------------------------------------------------

English version: The medicine is taken from the golden bottle because of illness. Singing: 'No customer in this shop is let go, and a drop of water is vowed not to be casually credited. Only by pouring it out can one know the true taste; all of Samsara is in this cup of tea.' Ling Xing Po (Old Woman Ling) Ling Xing Po came to pay respects to Monk Fubei (Disciple of Mazu Daoyi). The master offered her a seat and tea. Po then asked, 'That sentence that cannot be expressed even with all one's strength, to whom is it entrusted?' The master said, 'Fubei has no superfluous words.' Po said, 'Before reaching Fubei, it's okay to be suspicious.' The master said, 'If there are merits elsewhere, it's okay to bring them out.' Po folded her hands and cried, saying, 'Adding more injustice and suffering in the heavens.' The master was silent. Po said, 'Speaking without knowing right from wrong, understanding without recognizing good from evil, dealing with people will bring disaster.' Later, a monk told Nanquan Puyuan about this, and Nanquan said, 'Alas, Fubei has been devastated by this old woman.' Ling Xing Po later heard this and laughed, saying, 'Teacher Wang (referring to Nanquan) still lacks some ingenuity.' Chan traveler Chengyi met Ling Xing Po and asked, 'What is Nanquan still lacking in ingenuity?' Ling Xing Po then cried, saying, 'How sad, how painful.' Chengyi was at a loss. Po said, 'Do you understand?' Chengyi put his palms together and stood. Po said, 'Dead-pretending Chan monks are as numerous as hemp and millet.' Chengyi told Zhao Zhou Congshen about this, and Zhao Zhou said, 'If I see this stinky old woman, I will ask her until she is speechless.' Chengyi said, 'I don't know how the master would ask her?' Zhao Zhou then hit him. Chengyi said, 'Why did you hit me?' Zhao Zhou said, 'If it's someone like you pretending to be dead, when else should I hit you?' He hit him several times in a row. Ling Xing Po heard this and said, 'Zhao Zhou deserves to be hit by me.' Later, a monk told Zhao Zhou about this, and Zhao Zhou cried, saying, 'How sad, how painful.' Ling Xing Po heard this, put her palms together, and sighed, 'Zhao Zhou's eyes shine through the entire world.' Zhao Zhou asked a monk to ask, 'What is Zhao Zhou's eye?' Ling Xing Po then raised her fist. The monk went back and told Zhao Zhou, and Zhao Zhou composed a verse, saying, 'Seize the opportunity, face-to-face, and uphold it; when face-to-face, be quick to seize the opportunity. Tell you, Ling Xing Po, what is gained or lost in crying?' Ling Xing Po replied with a verse, saying, 'The teacher already understands the crying, but who else knows? At that time, in Magadha, the present opportunity was almost lost.' (Hanshan Deqing commented: 'Less knowledge, less worries; more acquaintances, more troubles. According to Zhao Zhou's initial...') --------------------------------------------------------------------------------
