Layman P'ang also asked, "The unveiled original man asks you to look upward, please."
The Patriarch looked straight down.
The layman said, "Only the Master can play so wonderfully on a stringless lute."
The Patriarch looked straight up. The layman bowed, and the Patriarch returned to his quarters.
The layman followed him; when he entered the room, he said, "Just now bungled it trying to be wise."
To those who don't see its true nature, the unveiled original man is a matter that strikes terror...but on whose part was the bungle?
