3.14

Ascending the high seat, a monk bowed, arose, and immediately shouted. The Master also shouted. The monk returned to the assembly. The Master said: "It still lacks one move." Then he said: "A single shout distinguishes guest and host; illumination and function operate at the same time. If you wish to understand the meaning within this: / At high noon, strike the third watch! / Tell me, between the shout of this monk just now and this mountain monk's shout, which is the guest? Which is the host? Which is illumination? Which is function? If you can discern this here, I permit you to walk alone through the great chiliocosm. If not yet so, be strictly careful not to lose your spoon and chopsticks inside your bowl." Again he gave a shout.
