The master said: "Deceiving the barbarian and hoodwinking the Han." The monk said: "What fault does Third Son Xie have?" The master said: "The crime of falsely accusing others." The monk said: "Then the moon is full in the heavens and half-full among men." The master said: "An old crow pecks an oyster." The monk drew a circle, saying: "How to clarify this?" The master said: "Clarify it, and you go blind." The monk said: "Thank you, Master, for pointing it out." The master said: "Repeatedly bearing sons." He then said: "Huating's boat is full yet still not enough; Nanquan hurries his pace yet fails to tread on it. All the others before our eyes are in chaos, all saying they see the moon and forget the finger."
