Dahui's Real Original, the First Shobogenzo:
415. Master Shoushan Zhi - cont.
A monk asked, “What was the purpose of the founding teacher’s coming from the West?” The master said, “A three-foot staff breaking an earthenware owl.”
“What is Buddha?” [The master answered] “The bottom of a bucket falling out.”
“What statement have the sages since time immemorial had?” [The master answered] “’Thus have I heard.’”
“I don’t understand.” [The master answered] “’Believing, accepting, putting into practice.’”
