4.4

Ascending the hall, a monk asked, "'Now the Buddha radiates light, assisting in revealing the meaning of the true mark.' What is the light that is radiated?" The Master said, "Have you eaten your gruel?" [The monk] advanced and said, "This student has already eaten gruel." The Master said, "Do you still see it?" [The monk] advanced and said, "I wonder if that still measures up or not?" The Master said, "It turns out you do not see it." He then said, "'Now the Buddha radiates light, assisting in revealing the meaning of the true mark.'" Holding up his staff, he said, "The buddhas of the past, the buddhas of the present, and the buddhas of the future are all on the tip of Jingshan's staff, simultaneously radiating great light, illuminating the dharmadhātu of the ten directions, causing the mountains, rivers, the great earth, and the myriad dense phenomena all to bow their heads at once. What is the meaning of the true mark?" Striking [the floor] once, he said, "The text that follows is lengthy; it is deferred until tomorrow."
