A monk asked Nanyuan, “Are the meaning of Chan and the meaning of Buddhism the same or different?” He said, “Chairman of the board, chief executive officer.” The monk said, “I don’t understand.” The master said, “Ox head south, horse head north.” Dahui remarked, “The former answer hit the mark; the latter answer didn’t.”
What do you make of the first answer specifically? What is the difference between an officer and a chairman?
Can you paraphrase his first answer as you understand in your own words?
