[Hongzhi] cited: Yangshan asked a monk, "Where have you recently come from?" The monk said, "Mount Lu." Yangshan said, "Did you visit the Five Old Men Peaks?" The monk said, "I did not visit them." Yangshan said, "The ācārya has not wandered the mountain." Yunmen said, "These words were all for the sake of compassion, having the discourse of entering the weeds." The Master [Hongzhi] said, "Although Yunmen recognized Yangshan's inner intent, how can one help that he only knew the one and did not know the other? And tell me, what was Yangshan's meaning? An abundance of style, too lazy to show off, / sparing that fine young gentleman from being pointed out by others."
