The Essence of Zan, It's Beyond Sense

The essence of zan, it's beyond sense. Look south and see the northern dipper. Another master said on top of a flag pole, a cow gives birth to a calf is the expression of transcendental wisdom. I should have rendered, where it says saints here, i should have rendered that as sages. That's the best thing i can come up with. saint is not suitable translation for anything. Buddhist sage may not be perfect, but better, i think. All right. That's enough.
