He cited: "A monk took leave of Dasui. Dasui asked, 'Where are you going?' The monk said, 'To Mount Emei to pay homage to Samantabhadra.' Dasui held up his whisk and said, 'Mañjuśrī and Samantabhadra are both right here.' The monk drew a circle and tossed it behind his back. Dasui said, 'Attendant, bring a packet of tea to this monk.' Yunmen provided an alternate phrase: 'In the Western Heavens heads are cut off and arms are severed; here, lead yourself out.'" The Master said, "The sword that kills people, the sword that gives people life—let those with eyes discern it."
