As the Layman and Sung-shan Ho-shang were drinking tea together, the Layman held up the stand of his teacup and said: "Everyone without exception is endowed with it: why can no one speak?"
"Just because everyone without exception is endowed with it, no one can speak," returned Sung-shan.
"How is it, my elder brother, that you can speak?" asked the Layman.
"I can't help but speak," replied Sung-shan.
"Obviously, obviously," returned the Layman.
What.. why is a Layman quoted in the zen forum?
