[Hongzhi] cited: A monk asked Muzhou, "Are the patriarch's intention and the scriptural teaching's intention the same or different?" Muzhou said, "The green mountain is of itself the green mountain; the white cloud is of itself the white cloud." The Master [Hongzhi] said, "If you recognize Muzhou right here, then Śākyamuni's appearing in the world and Bodhidharma's coming from the West are both fellows who did not keep to their fundamental lot. Do you still recognize him? The arms are long, but the robe's sleeves are short; / The feet are thin, but the straw sandals are wide."
