Master Dalong On You And Being A Bowl

Treasury of the Eye of True Teaching Volume 2

1. Master Dalong was asked by a monk, "What is Buddha?" He said. "You are." The monk said, "How to understand?" He said, "Do you still object to your bowl having no handle?

Looks like Dalong is Ta Lung from Case 82 BCR.

I'll take the bowl with no handle over a brain in a vat strapped to rat in a cage, but now I've handled myself. What's the monk so scared of? What are you? Is the thousand-foot pole really that tall?
