Once a monk asked Master Zhaozhou, “What is the road without mistakes?”
The master said, “Clarifying mind, seeing nature; that's the road without mistakes.”
Once a monk who had stayed at Xuefeng Monastery in the south came to see Master Zhaozhou. Master Xeufeng Yicun, the teacher at this monastery, had risen to great prominence in his region.
Master Zhaozhou asked the monk, “What is Master Xeufeng teaching these days?”The monk reported that Xeufeng had said, “The whole world is the eye of a practitioner. Where will you take a shit?”
Master Zhaozhou replied, “If you return to Xeufeng, you should take a trowel.”
One day a monk asked Master Zhaozhou, “The ten thousand things all return to the one. To where does the one return?”
The master replied, “Back when I lived in Qingzhou I made a hemp robe that weighed seven pounds.”
