2.30

Case: Yunyan was sweeping the ground. (Novices and postulants get no rest.) Daowu said, 'Too busy and toilsome!' (Concealing troops and provoking a fight.) Yunyan said, 'You should know there is one who is not busy and toilsome.' (A pity to split the talk in two.) Daowu said, 'If so, then there is a second moon.' (How could there be only two hundred, thousand, or ten thousand?) Yunyan held up the broom and said, 'Which moon is this?' (Sticking his head out from the crystal palace.) Daowu then rested. (Everything is in what is left unsaid.) Xuansha said, 'It is precisely the second moon.' (One person spreads an untruth and ten thousand take it as real.) Yunmen said, 'The manservant sees the maidservant with attentive eagerness.' (Following the crooked, he throws down the winnowing basket.)
