Ascending the hall, [the Master] said: "Today is the anniversary of the birth of old Śākya. Changlu does not know how to speak Chan, but will draw a figure for you all. Just what was it like when he was in Māyā's womb?" With his whisk he drew [a circle with a dot in the center] ⊙. "Just what was it like when his golden body was bathed with pure water?" The Master drew [a circle enclosing the character 'water'] [○@水]. "Just what was it like when he walked seven steps, looked in the four directions, pointed to heaven and earth, realized the Way, expounded the Dharma, performed supernatural transformations, possessed wisdom and eloquence, and during forty-nine years and more than three hundred assemblies spoke of green and talked of yellow, pointed east and drew west, and entered mahāparinirvāṇa?" The Master drew [a circle enclosing a cross] ⊕ and said: "If one is a patch-robed monk with eyes, he will surely nod in approval. If not yet so, one must experience each and every one before it is attained."
