Ascending the hall, he cited: A monk asked Jiashan, "What is the Buddha?" Shan said, "In this position there is neither host nor guest." The monk said, "With whom do you usually converse?" Shan said, "Mañjuśrī has gone carrying water with me; Samantabhadra has not yet returned from picking flowers." The Master said: "Not dwelling in merit, not joining companions, shedding the body within it, passing through once. Awakened from a dream, a boat floats on moonlit waves; with cold eyes, snow heaps up along the reed-flower shore."
