3.71

[The Master] cited: "Xuansha saw Gushan coming and drew a circle. Gushan said, 'No one can get out of this.' Xuansha said, 'I knew well you were making a livelihood inside a donkey's womb and a horse's belly.' Gushan said, 'What about the Upādhyāya?' Xuansha said, 'No one can get out of this.' Gushan said, 'The Upādhyāya can say so—why can I not?' Xuansha said, 'I can, you cannot.'" The Master said, "He only knew to covet the sight of the white waves, not realizing he had lost the oar from his hands."
