2.29

Ascending the high seat: "'The Buddha's true dharmakāya is like empty space.'" He struck the meditation couch once with his fly-whisk and said, "'Responding to things, it manifests forms like the moon in water.'" He again raised [the fly-whisk] and said, "Old Śākya has arrived! Do you see him? If you say you do not see him, having eyes is like being blind; if you say you see him, tell me: is he inside the fly-whisk, outside the fly-whisk, or in between the fly-whisk? Even if you say, 'He is not inside, not outside, and not in between,' and you see it so clearly like this, under Jingshan's gate it is just right for you to take a beating." Striking the meditation couch, he stepped down from the seat.
