BCR - Case 15: Yun Men's Upside-Down Statement

it's been a while. health has been rough.


canonical pointer, case, and notes section:

POINTER

The single-edged sword that kills people, the double-edged sword that brings people to life; the customary rule of high antiquity is still the pivotal essential for today. But tell me, right now, which is the sword that kills people, which is the sword that brings people to life? To test, I cite this; look!

CASE

A monk asked Yun Men, "When it's not the present intellect and it's not the present phenomena, what is it?"1

Yun Men said, "An upside-down statement."2

NOTES

  1. Why the leaping about? Fall back three thousand miles.

  2. They come out even. Truth comes out of the convict's mouth; he can't be let go. He stretches out his body in the wild weeds.


wizarding commentary:

"When it's not the present intellect and it's not the present phenomena, what is it?"
