And where are the students?
And what do you teach them?
To carry water, or to shit words?

To save all sentient beings, though beings are numberless.
To penetrate reality, though reality is boundless.
To transform all delusion, though delusions are immeasurable.
To attain the enlightened way, a way non-attainable.

I just had an experience that made me think of the 2 bulls. When I was taking my dogs out, I noticed a spider hanging on a single web-strand from a tree. The only reason I noticed it was because it contrasted with the other "things". When I took my second dog out, I tried to look for just it, and everything melded together as I tried to do this. It was of no use, it was on a backdrop of dark greenery from a bush about 20 or 30 feet away. But then the wind came and it swayed again to where I could distinguish it.
Are bulls just bulls?
Or the whole of the flowing river
The mirror is just bull
/Pontus
In a spring outside time, flowers bloom on a withered tree;
you ride a jade elephant backwards, chasing the winged dragon-deer;
now as you hide far beyond innumerable peaks--
the white moon, a cool breeze, the dawn of a fortunate day
