Dongshan's Silence

Ch'in-Shan visited the Master. The Master asked, "Where have you come from?"

"From Ta-tz'u Mountain, replied Ch'in-shan.

Were you able to see Huan-chung of Ta-tz'u?"

"Yes, I saw him,"said Ch'in-shan.

"Did you see his outward appearance or what was behind that appearance?" asked the master.

"I saw neither his outward appearance nor what was behind it," replied Ch'in-shan.

The Master remained silent.

Ch'in-shan later said, "I left the Master too soon and did not completely acquire his mind."


What is this "acquiring of minds"? Anyone got any info on that?
