1.7
Ascending the hall, he said: "The dharmakāya is without form, manifesting forms in response to things; prajñā is without cognition, shining in accordance with conditions." Then, holding up his fly-whisk, he said: "When the fly-whisk is held upright, it is called the dharmakāya; is this not manifesting forms in response to things? When the fly-whisk lies horizontal, it is called prajñā; is this not shining in accordance with conditions?" Then he laughed heartily: "Ha, ha! If suddenly someone were to come out, grab Tong'an, spit on me, slap me, overturn the Chan seat, and drag me down the steps, I couldn't blame him either. Now, since there are no such moves capable of biting pigs and dogs, Tong'an will instead carry out this order in reverse!" He descended from the seat.
