1.38

One day, the Master entered the monks' hall to warm himself by the fire. A monk said, "Today is very cold." The Master said, "You should know there is that which is not cold." The monk said, "Who is the one who is not cold?" The Master picked up a charcoal ember with tongs and showed it to him. The monk said, "Do not say there is no one." The Master dropped the ember. The monk said, "Coming to this point, I do not understand." The Master said, "The sun shines on the cold pool, clear and ever clearer."
