Free sprouts

Master Yunju Ying said to an assembly,

Those who attain aren't flippant, those who understand don't act meanly. Those who know don't bemoan, those who understand have no contempt.

What comes down from heaven is poverty, what springs up from the earth is wealth. Establishing oneself within the school is easy; leaving the school within oneself is hard.

Move, and you bury yourself ten thousand feet deep; don't move, and you produce sprouts where you are. Transcend to freedom at a single saying, and you stand out alone in your time. Speech should not be much; if there's a lot, it has no use.

Treasury 358.

Red Riding Hood says "What big ears you have!" and the wolf replies "The better to hear you with!"
Red Riding Hood says "What big teeth you have!" and the wolf replies "The better to eat you with!"

Red Riding Hood says, "What great sprouts you have!" and the wolf replies, "aaaaaruuuugula!"
