3.162

因在醋寮內,指云:「這一甕醋得與麼滿,那一甕醋得與麼淺。」僧云:「人貧智短,馬瘦毛長。」師大笑而出。

Once while in the vinegar storehouse, pointing, he said, "How is this vat of vinegar so full, while that vat of vinegar is so shallow?" A monk said, "When a man is poor his wisdom is short; when a horse is lean its hair is long." The Master laughed loudly and went out.
