Upādhyāya Cong of Dongshan once carried firewood up the mountain himself. On the road he met a monk who asked: "There is firewood on the mountain; why are you taking it up?" Dongshan put the firewood down on the ground and said: "Do you understand?" The monk said: "I do not understand." Dongshan said: "I want to burn it."
