Label TextIn him the five attributes of man (form, perception, consciousness, action, knowledge) and the six senses (sight, hearing, smell, taste, touch, thought) are miraculously varied. By pointing up his finger he sets the Heavenly Dragon at nought. He dwells among trees and rocks and hair grows on his hands and feet. You may ask why scissors should not be used on him. But who shears the pig and deer?
