虛堂和尚語錄 6.20

6.20

[He] brought up: "Upādhyāya Budai would often go back and forth along the thoroughfares carrying a cloth bag and a torn mat. Inside the cloth bag were stored alms-bowls, wooden clogs, fish, rice, vegetables, meat, tiles, stones, earth, and wood—he had every kind of thing. At times, in crowded places, he would open the bag, scatter the contents, and say, 'Look, look!' He would also pick them up one by one and ask people, 'What is this called?' The crowd had no reply."
