He cited: "A monk asked the National Teacher, 'What is the original body of Rocana?' He said, 'Pass this old monk the water pitcher.' The monk brought the water pitcher. He said, 'Put it back in its former place.' The monk asked again, 'What is the original body of Rocana?' He said, 'The ancient Buddha has long since passed away.' Great Master Yunmen said, 'Without sign or trace.'" The Master said, "Even pointing one finger to heaven and one finger to earth—how could there be nothing? Do you understand? Clouds over the mountain peak are never completely idle; water flowing beneath the ravine is far too busy."
