Ascending the hall, he brought up [the case]: "The Venerable Rang asked Mazu: 'Do you study sitting in meditation, or do you study sitting as a Buddha? If you study sitting in meditation, meditation is neither sitting nor lying down. If you study sitting as a Buddha, the Buddha has no fixed form; regarding the non-abiding mark, you should not grasp or reject.'" The master said: "Nanyue led Mazu to do a mouse's work inside a bull's horn; suddenly finding a way out, he turned around and laughed at Nanyue for sitting inside it."
