Dahui's Real Original, the First Shobogenzo, Vo. 2:
489 . Master Zhaoqing said to an assembly, “Tonight I’ve told you all at once; but do you comprehend what it comes down to?”
Then a monk came out and said, “If the assembly disperses at once, will it conform to your intent?” He said, “I ought to give a staff.”
The monk bowed. Zhaoqing said, “Though you have the aim of a blind turtle, you have no way to go under the dawn moon.”
The monk asked, “What is the way to go under the dawn moon?” He said, “This is the aim of the blind turtle.”
The monk asked, “What is the conduct of a monk?” He said, “Wrong conduct is not carried out.”
The monk asked, “What is the meaning of the coming from the West?” He said, “A mosquito gets on an iron ox.”
