2.26

He cited: "Yangshan said, 'I grant that Elder Brother understands the Tathāgata Chan.'" A monk then asked, "What is the Tathāgata Chan?" The Master said, "'Shang-da-ren'." He also held up a fan and said, "I call it a fan; what do you call it?" The monk had no words. The Master said, "Preaching the Dharma on a fan, hiding the body inside a lantern—what about it?" The monk in turn asked, "What is the Upādhyāya's Chan?" The Master scolded him, "Originally it was right here all along!"
