Cleary, Treasury of the Eye of True Teaching
Elder Hut called on Deshan. As soon as Deshan saw him, he made as if to take out his seat cloth. The elder said, “Leaving this aside for the moment, if someone comes with mind and environment unified, what would you say to him to avoid being criticised everywhere?”
Deshan said, “You’re still three steps short of past days; come back as an independent individual.”
The elder thereupon shouted.
Deshan didn’t reply.
The elder said, “I’ve choked the old fox.”
Guishan heard the story told. He remarked, “The elder may have gotten the advantage, but nevertheless he was covering his ears to steal a bell.”
How many minds are there?
