5.42
A monk asked Caoshan, 'When the mourning clothes are not worn, how is it?' (The cicada sheds its shell, still clinging to the cold branch.)
Caoshan said, 'Today Caoshan's mourning is fulfilled.' (He has not betrayed his whole life.)
The monk said, 'What about after the mourning is fulfilled?' (Striding broad and wide.)
Caoshan said, 'Caoshan loves to be crazy drunk.' (What is wrong with that?)
