2.72

Ascending the hall to open the hearth and thank the head seat, a monk asked: "Zhaozhou said: 'I call it fire, but you must not call it fire.' What is the meaning of this?" The master said: "Grappling hooks and hawser cords." The monk said: "Today I have met Zhaozhou." The master said: "Do you understand his 'gourd propping up the eastern wall'?" The monk said: "It is also common home-style tea and rice." The master said: "The lad of Huxiang."
