3.36

[The Master] cited: A monk asked Shaoshan: “Where right and wrong do not reach, is there still a phrase or not?” Shaoshan said: “There is.” The monk said: “What is the phrase?” Shaoshan said: “A wisp of solitary cloud does not expose ugliness.”
The Master said: “Interpenetrating with the entire body, without offending majesty; stepping back from the position and bringing it up indirectly, one must be subtle and accommodating. Do you see where Shaoshan accommodated him? Pushing father inward with all one's might.”
