-- The Meaning --

When Liang-chieh was crossing the water and saw his image reflected, he suddenly understood the teaching of Yun-yen. Thus he made the following gather:
You should not search through others,
Lest the Truth recede farther from you,
When alone I proceed through myself,
He is the same as me,
Yet I am not he!
Only if you understand this
Will you identify with tathata.
