When two senior monks, Shen and Ming, came to the Huai River, they saw someone pulling in a net; there was a fish that got through and out. Shen said, "Brother Ming - how clever - it's just like a patchrobed monk!" Ming said, "Even so, how is this as good as not getting snared in the net in the first place?" Shen said, "Brother Ming, you still lack enlightenment." In the middle of the night Ming finally understood.
Dahui said, "As for what elder Ming understood, was it what was in the net or what got out of the net?"
