Master Yunmen quoted Dharma teacher [Seng] Zhao's words:

All individual entities (dharmas) are without difference — [yet] one must not stretch the duck's [legs] and shorten the crane's, level the peaks and fill up the valleys, and then think that they are not different!

Master Yunmen said, "The long is by nature long, the short by nature short."

Again, the Master said, "A thing occupies its position, and its mundane aspect always remains."

Then he held up his staff and said, "This staff is not a thing that always remains, is it?"
