6.112

He cited: "Because a monk drew four strokes in front of Mazu—the top one long and the bottom three short—and then said, 'You must not say that one stroke is long and three strokes are short; separated from the four propositions and free from the hundred negations, please, Master, answer.' Mazu then drew one stroke and said, 'You must not say that one stroke is long and three strokes are short. I have answered you.'"
