18.18

He cited: "Shizu asked Nanquan, 'The mani jewel, people do not know; in the Tathāgata-garbha one personally receives it. What is the storehouse (garbha)?' Nanquan said, 'My coming and going with you is it.' Shizu said, 'What about when there is no coming and going at all?' Nanquan said, 'It is also the storehouse.' Shizu said, 'What is the jewel?' Nanquan said, 'Shizu!' Shizu responded, 'Yes?' Nanquan said, 'Go! You do not understand my words.'" The Master commented: "Nanquan's extending a hand for a time—taking in, letting go, capturing, and releasing—was certainly present, but fundamentally he had not yet seen the transcendent matter. Just as the entire great earth is the Tathāgata-garbha, in what place will you put the jewel? The entire great earth is the mani jewel; what do you call the storehouse? If one clearly attains a place to turn oneself about, I might grant that he possesses just one eye."
