“National Teacher’s Three Calls”
The National Teacher called his attendant three times, and three times the attendant responded.
The National Teacher said, “I long feared that I was betraying you, but really it was you who were betraying me.”
Mumon’s Verse
He carried and iron yoke with no hole And left a curse to trouble his descendants. If you want to hold up the gate and the doors, You must climb a mountain of swords with bare feet.
