A monk asked: "What is the master of Vairocana's dharmakāya?" The Master said: "Stalks of rice and stems of millet." [The monk] asked: "Among the three bodies, which body does not fall into numbers?" The Master said: "I am constantly earnest about this." A monk asked Caoshan: "The late master said: 'I am constantly earnest about this.' What was the meaning?" Caoshan said: "If you want your head, then cut it off." He also asked Xuefeng; Xuefeng struck him across the mouth with his staff and said: "I have also been to Dongshan!"
