Blue Cliff Record (Forty-fifth Case)

Translated by Thomas and J.C. Cleary:

A monk asked Chao Chou, "The myriad things return to one. Where does the one return to?"

Chou said, "When I was in Ch'ing Chou I made a cloth shirt. It weighed seven pounds."

kphoover: Having never travelled to Ch'ing Chou, I can neither affirm nor deny the existence of such a seven pound cloth shirt.
