Translated by Thomas and J.C. Cleary:
A monk asked Ching Ch'ing, "I am breaking out; I ask the Teacher to break in."
Ching Ch'ing said, "Can you live or not?"
The monk said, "If I weren't alive, I'd be laughed at by people."
Ching Ch'ing said, "You too are a man in the weeds."
kphoover: If not for the insects, poisonous spiders, and poor visibility, in the weeds would be a place to find rest.
A hen could lay her eggs there. But they are eaten by a wild fox, and where does that leave us?
