He brought up [the following]: "Xuansha said, 'I have the treasury of the true Dharma eye, which was entrusted to Mahākāśyapa; it is like speaking of the moon. Caoxi holding up the whisk is like pointing to the moon.' Gushan said, 'Moon!' Xuansha said, 'This ācārya seeks the moon from me.' Gushan did not agree, but returned to the assembly and said, '[He] says I sought the moon from him.'" The master said, "Xuansha and Gushan were like deploying a great battle array of a million troops, yet merely throwing shards of tile at each other. If there is a patch-robed monk who can discern this, he should know that the entrustment of the treasury of the true Dharma eye is truly present."
