Xuefeng was serving as the rice cook. Once, while he was culling pebbles from the rice, the Master asked, "Do you cull out the pebbles and set the rice aside, or do you cull out the rice and set the pebbles aside?"
"I set aside the rice and pebbles at one and the same time," replied Xuefeng.
"What will the monks eat?" asked the Master.
Xuefeng immediately turned over the rice bucket.
The Master said, "Given your basic affinities, you will be most compatible with Deshan."
One day, when Yunju was doing garden work, he accidentally chopped an earthworm. The Master said, "Watch out!"
"It didn't die," said Yunju.
"What about when the Second Patriarch went to Yezhou?" said the Master.
Xuefeng turned over the bucket and Yunju chopped an earthworm. Are they different? Are they similar?
Who can bring forward a phrase to settle it all on the basis of the facts?
