Text

Layman Pang said, "Difficult, difficult, difficult—like trying to scatter ten measures of sesame seed all over a tree." His wife said, "Easy, easy, easy—just like touching your feet to the ground when you get out of bed." Their daughter Lingchao said, "Neither difficult nor easy—on the tips of a hundred grass blades, the meaning of the Patriarch."
