Yangshan pointed to a snow lion and said, “Is there anything beyond this color?”
Yunmen said, “At that time I’d knock it down for him.”
Xuedou brought this up and said, “He only knows how to knock down; he cannot set up.”
So a snow lion is either this mythological creature, or the equivalente of a snowman, but you know, for lions. My money is on the second one as a stand-in for the first one.
Yuanwu, when talking about what Yangshan said, said this, "Isn’t he illustrating the phenomenon of uniformity? Actually there’s no connection. Given that he wasn’t illustrating uniformity, then what was he illustrating?"
Any takers?
Also, he says this about what Yunmen said, "Unable to do anything about the boat, he breaks the bailing bucket." Basically saying he can't take down Yangshan, but he can take the thing that helps people away. Yuanwu said Yangshan is helping people here. Is Yunmen helping out as well by putting a stop to that?
