The T'ang poet and official Po Chu-i asked the Ch'an master 'Bird Nest' Tao-lin, "What is the great purport of the Buddha dharma?" The master answered, "To refrain from all evil and practice all good." Po said, "Even a child of three could say that.'' The master said, "Though a child of three may say it, an old man of eighty can't do it."
