见之不识，识之不见，
若欲见之，不得取相，乃可见之。
丰干禅师
(阿弥陀佛之化身)
Seeing them [i.e. Bodhisattvas and Buddhas manifested among us], not recognising them [as they are ‘blend in’ skilfully]. Recognising them, not seeing them [as they will depart when identified]. If desiring to see them, there must not be clinging to forms [by expecting to see them in certain ways], thus can there be seeing of them.

(Amitābha Buddha’s Manifestation)
