Meeting the Parrot Who Escaped from the Cage, He Realizes He Must Pretend to Be Dead

见鸟出笼　悟装死人

Patriarch Bodhidharma walked on ahead; the Dharma Master pursued him from behind. In his pursuit, he passed the parrot who had gained his freedom through the help of Patriarch Bodhidharma. Suddenly he understood, "Oh! That's what it's all about! I have to play dead. I have to be a living dead person!"

追达摩祖师，祖师在前面走，他就在后面追，一追，追到这儿，看见达摩祖师帮助这只小鸟得到了自由。他就想：噢！原来就是这么回事，要装死，要装一个活死人。
