Zhaozhou said, "A metal Buddha doesn't pass through a furnace. A wooden Buddha doesn't pass through fire. A clay Buddha doesn't pass through water. A real Buddha sits inside."
[0298a12] 趙州云。金佛不度爐。木佛不度火。泥佛不度水。真佛內裡坐。
The clay Buddha, the gold and wood Buddhas merged,
Zhaozhou releases forth, a falcon into distant sky,
Raising his head unrestrained, to north south east and west,
Through one serious burst of cloud in ten thousand li.
[0298a14] 併却泥佛金木佛。趙州放出遼天鶻。東西南北謾擡頭。萬里重雲只一突。
