6.114

He cited: "Nanquan instructed the assembly: 'Mazu of Jiangxi said, "Mind itself is Buddha." Old Teacher Wang does not say so: it is not mind, it is not Buddha, it is not a thing. Speaking this way, is there still any fault?' At that time Zhaozhou came forward, bowed, and withdrew. Then a monk asked Zhaozhou, 'What was the meaning of the elder's bowing?' Zhaozhou said, 'You go ask the upādhyāya instead.' The monk also asked Nanquan, 'What was the meaning of Elder Shen just now?' Nanquan said, 'He understood this old monk's meaning.'"
