大慧普覺禪師語錄 7.24

7.24

Instructing the assembly, he brought up the following: "Zhaoqing asked Luoshan, 'Someone asked Yantou, "In the midst of dust, how does one distinguish the master?" Yantou said, "A copper basin full to the brim with oil." What does this mean?' Luoshan called out, 'Great Master!' Zhaoqing responded. Luoshan said, 'A monkey entering an arena of practice.' Luoshan then asked Mingzhao, 'If someone asks you, how would you respond?' Mingzhao said, 'An arrow piercing the reflection of the red sun.'"
The Master said, "Do you understand? A monkey entering an arena of practice; an arrow piercing the reflection of the red sun. Two old veterans carrying snow together to fill up a well." He gave a shout.
