Toothless asked the Reed-Cloaked Teacher what is the path? The Teacher in the Reed Cloak said: “If you straighten your body, focus your gaze on one thing, then you will come to harmony with nature. If you collect your knowledge and focus on one standard, then wisdom will come to your home; properties will become your beauty, and the path will dwell with you. You will look simply, like a newborn calf, and will not look for the reasons for all this.”
Before the Teacher could finish speaking, Toothless fell asleep. In great joy, the Teacher in the Reed Cloak left him and sang:
“The body is like withered branches, The heart is like faded ashes, He has known the Essence to the deep roots, Having thrown off the burden of the past forever. Dark, foggy, without feelings and without thoughts, Don’t talk to him, Because he’s real!”
