虛堂和尚語錄 8.50

8.50

Expressing thanks to Upādhyāya Ruiyan, ascending the hall: "Intending to meet, one does not come; without intention, they suddenly encounter each other. The hair on his crown hangs like threads, his eyes gleam like lightning. He speaks exhaustively of the winds and waves of lakes and seas, and deliberates on the dearness of firewood and rice. There is yet another point known to few." Striking with his whisk: "It is also adding eyebrows above the eyes once again."
