[The Master] cited: Dongshan asked Senior Monk Mi, "What are you doing?" Mi said, "Holding a needle." Dongshan said, "What is holding a needle like?" Mi said, "Stitch after stitch resembles each other." Dongshan said, "Having traveled together for twenty years, you still make such talk!" Mi said, "What about the Elder?" Dongshan said, "The great earth bursts into flame." The Master said, "'The great earth bursts into flame'—not a hair's breadth between them. The Kunlun of the South Seas does not shiver in cold weather. Handed down from patriarch to patriarch, a whole pile of rubbish."
