47, Zhimen's straw sandals
A monk asked Zhimen, "What is Buddha?" (Better ask about a piece of dry crap.) Zhimen said, "Wearing out straw sandals, walking barefoot." (This is trailing mud and water.) The monk asked, "What is the task beyond Buddha?" (There has always been ascent and descent.) Zhimen said, "Displaying the sun and moon on the top of a staff." (Great Lord!)
-Xuedou-
Xuedou cited this and said, "It's easy to get a thousand soldiers, but it's hard to find a single general." (A son does not talk about his father's virtues.)

Yo͞ok Welcome! Meet me My comment: Where does your mind go when you read this? It's an interesting experience to try to turn words into meaning, right?
And so many assumptions throughout! No wonder they like to ask, "What does it mean?"
