3.86

[The Master] cited: A monk asked Shishuang, "Within a foot's distance, why can I not see the master's face?" Shishuang said, "I say: throughout the entire realm it has never been hidden." The monk also asked Xuefeng, "What is the meaning of 'throughout the entire realm it has never been hidden'?" Xuefeng said, "Where is not Shishuang?" The Master said, "How far apart are Shishuang and Xuefeng? A full thousand miles, ten thousand miles! If someone were to ask Changlu the ultimate meaning of 'throughout the entire realm it has never been hidden,' I would say to him: 'Where is Shishuang?'"
