Dahui's Real Original, the First Shobogenzo, Vo. 2:
When Ju went to master Gongan Yuan’s place, Yuan asked, “What is a sanctuary?” Ju said, “Deep mountains hide a lone tiger; shallow grass reveals a bunch of snakes.”
Yuan said, “How about the person in the sanctuary?” Ju said, “Green pines cannot cover him; how can yellow leaves hide him?”
Yuan said, “What are you saying?” Ju said, “A youth thoroughly enjoys the moon in the sky; for a dotard, there’s no sun in the east.”
Yuan said, “How is it when the clouds open and the moon appears in one or two statements?” Ju said, “Shining through the Buddhas and patriarchs.”

(Welcome link) (ewkwho?) note: I was thinking the other day that Zen Masters preaching the dharma to the unenlightened are a great example of absolute power corrupting absolutely... just, you know, in enlightened people.
What the @##@ are your talking about old man?
Oh, look! It's shining through.
