3.22

師見飯頭,云:「汝是飯頭麼?」云:「是。」師云:「顆裏有幾米,米裏有幾顆?」無對。代云:「某甲瞻星望月。」又云:「福利門中不得不作。」

The Master saw the rice cook and said, "Are you the rice cook?" He said, "Yes." The Master said, "How much grain is in a kernel, and how many kernels are in the grain?" There was no reply. Answering on his behalf, he said, "I gaze at the stars and look toward the moon." He also said, "Within the gate of blessings and merit, one cannot help but do it."
