[Hongzhi] cited: Jinfeng instructed the assembly, saying, "Phenomena exist as the box and lid fitting together; principle accords as the arrowheads meeting point-to-point. If someone can speak of it, Jinfeng will give him half the monastery to dwell in." At that time a monk came forward and bowed. Jinfeng said, "Stop, stop! Meeting is easy and pleasant; living together makes it hard to be a person." The Master [Hongzhi] said, "Under a heavy reward, there will surely be a brave man. This monk intended to seize it by force, but Jinfeng was not willing to yield. Do you know that when the mussel and the snipe lock together, both fall into the fisherman's hands? If one can distinguish the box and lid, and the arrowheads point-to-point, Jinfeng will hand over the entire monastery with both hands."
