2.7

【一二】舉僧問洞山。如何是佛(鐵蒺藜。天下衲僧跳不出)山云。麻三斤(灼然。破草鞋。指槐樹罵柳樹。為秤鎚)。

Case 12: A monk asked Dongshan, "What is the Buddha?" (An iron caltrop; the patch-robed monks of the world cannot leap out.)
Dongshan said, "Three pounds of hemp." (Clearly so! A broken straw sandal. Pointing at the locust tree to revile the willow. Serving as a steelyard weight.)
