Tending the ox

One day, as Hui-tsang was working in the kitchen,

the Patriarch asked him, "What are you doing?"

Hui-tsang replied, "1 am tending an ox."

The Patriarch asked, "How do you tend an ox?"

Hui-tsang replied, "When he wants to enter the grass,

I grab his nostrils and pull him away."

"You are really tending an ox." commented the Patriarch

A case for practice?
