The Master asked Yunyan, 'May I make a portrait of the upādhyāya?' Yunyan said, 'How much can you succeed?' The Master said, 'Usually a portrait captures seventy or eighty percent.' Yunyan said, 'That is still falling short.' The Master said, 'What about when it does not fall short?' Yunyan said, 'It reaches a full ten tenths.' The Master said, 'What about when an ancient said: "Even if it reaches a full ten tenths, it still does not resemble"?' Yunyan said, 'That has no fixed percentage.'
