汾陽無德禪師語錄 2.197

2.197

Minister Li Ao asked Yaoshan, "What is the Way?" Yaoshan pointed his finger to the sky and said, "Do you understand?" Li said, "I do not understand." The master said, "Clouds in the blue sky, water in the pitcher." Ao then composed a gāthā and presented it to the master: / "Having trained his physical form to resemble a crane, / Beneath a thousand pines are two cases of scriptures. / I came to ask about the Way and there was no other speech: / Clouds are in the blue sky, water is in the pitcher."
