From Case 217 of Dahui's Treasury of the Eye of the True Teaching
Fayan pointed to a chair and said, "If you know the chair, there's plenty of room."
Yunmen said, "If you know the chair, you're as far off as sky from earth."
Tianyi said, "If you know the chair, it's made of maple and cedar wood."
Dahui remarked, "If you know the chair you'd better shave your head and wash your feet. Even so, there are many people who still misunderstand."
Four Zen Masters running at the mouth on knowing the chair, across centuries, across lineages but people still come to these guys looking for supernatural wisdom & magic powers & stuff.
Who can impart a 5th phrase to cap this business off about knowing the chair?
