A huge, hairy, scary centipede was crawling up Master Lianchi's sleeve. His friend ran for a stick to brush it off, but 一只很大的、多足的、可怕的蜈蚣正爬在莲池大师的袖子上。他的朋友跑去拿来一只棍子要把它拨开，但是蜈蚣一动不动。莲池看起来一点也不担心。
Flapping before your window when the devil glass, toad is being gotten into your quilt, serpent ripples in your the top 当魔鬼在你窗前拍打着玻璃,蛤蟆正钻进你的被子,毒蛇在你头顶荡漾,蚯蚓在你脚趾穿梭,蜈蚣已爬进你的鼻孔,别怕!
Lianchi talked to the centipede. Could you be that centipede I set free a while back? If you are, just sit there quietly莲池对那条蜈蚣说，“你是我不久前放走的那条蜈蚣吗？如果是，就静静呆在那里，我来给你讲佛法。”
The centipede didn't move, so the Master very gently said, Anyone who wants to thoroughly understand what all the Buddha蜈蚣没动，大师轻轻地说，“任何人，想要了知佛陀所知道的道理，就必须明白，有形世界的所有事物本来都是我们意识的产物。”
The centipede slowly crawled out the window. The master's friend slowly crawled out from under his seat.蜈蚣缓缓地从窗户里爬出去了。大师的朋友这时才敢从椅子下慢慢地爬出来。
