[Hongzhi] cited: Guanxi gave the instructional remark: "At Linji's place I got a ladleful; at Moshan's place I got a ladleful." He also said, "In the ten directions there are no walls; on the four sides there are also no gates. Exposed and stark naked, red and bare, with nothing to grasp." The Master [Hongzhi] said, "Guanxi spoke like this; tell me, was it what he got at Linji's place, or what he got at Moshan's place? Although with one arrow he shot two eagles, what can be done when at times he runs himself to death, and at times he sits himself to death? And how can one attain it just right? Gathering it together or letting it go rests entirely with me; / taking it up or tossing it away—whom else does it depend on?"
