µ Yo͞ok  Welcome! Meet me  My comment: He's just saying "come for the party, miss the enlightenment". That's okay. He gets to be grumpy. Dharma heirs don't fall out of trees.

There is no saying, "Party like a Buddha", nor is there a "Ain't no party like a Bodhidharma party".

The footnote reminds us that iron nails are things we like more than enlightenment. Attachments, if you will. He is supposed to be pulling those out, and instead he is making stew... look at that! You thought he wasn't up to something in this Case.
