Ascending the hall, the Master cited: “A monk asked Touzi, ‘Is there still an extraordinary matter within the great canon of teachings or not?’ Touzi said, ‘Expounding the great canon of teachings.’” The Master said: “Touzi, upon receiving this one question, was completely nonplussed and utterly disconnected. If it were Wuzu, it would not be so. If someone asked, ‘Is there still an extraordinary matter within the great canon of teachings or not?’ this old monk would say to him: ‘They made obeisance and departed, faithfully accepting and practicing it.’ Even though it is like this, between him and Touzi there are ten thousand leagues of white clouds. In the end, what is it? Why do you need the eyes of all directions?”
