1.28

One day, the chief monk held up a fly-whisk and said: "If someone can state the principle, I will give it to him." The Master said: "If I can state the principle, can I have it or not?" The chief monk said: "Just state the principle and you may have it." The Master then snatched the fly-whisk away. (Yunju Xi said: "Where is Yangshan's principle?")
