Yunmen: Biting Indra's Nose

At a donated meal the Master took one bite of a sesame bun and said, "I bit Indra's nose. Indra is in agony!"

Then he pointed with his staff and said: "He is right under your feet, transformed into old Shakyamuni! Do you see? Do you see?"

The King of Hell, Yama, hears my talk and is laughing out loud, saying: 'Ha, ha, monk, you're quite up to it, I can't do a thing with you! But if someone's not up to it, he's completely in my hands!'"


What a nut. No one stands up to Yunmen and gives him a taste of his own medicine. Say you come across a man like this, where would you begin to speak?
