On the 34'th case from the BCR (Cleary), Yuanwu makes a mention in his comments about when Mazu meet Baizhang and asked him:
- Where did you come from?
- From down the mountain.
- Did you meet anyone on the road?
- Not at all. ______________________________________
- Why did you not meet anyone at all?
- If I had met anyone, I would mention it to you, teacher.
- How could this have been happening?
- I am at fault (Baizhang)
- On the contrary, I am at fault.
OP: the spilt in discourse is quite obvious. 5/4 Human parts still making up stuff where there is no need to make stuff up. I like how Baizhang brought his 5/4 of humanity in by identifying with being at fault with no reason.
Is there a hidden meaning in this beside the obvious fact that Mazu was going a bit through the weeds with his follow-up question - Why?! How come!? Here you stand telling me zero is not an invention of the mind ... hold the staff while i make-up some doubts. Press X for Doubt.
