Shoushan instructed the assembly, saying: “This old monk usually asks you: ‘Here, a shout does not act as a shout. Sometimes a shout acts as an inquiry; sometimes a shout acts as a sounding pole and shadowing grass; sometimes a shout acts as a crouching lion; sometimes a shout acts as the precious sword of the Diamond King.’ If it comes acting as an inquiry, you must urgently fix your eyes on it before you can succeed. If it acts as a sounding pole and shadowing grass, what should you all do? If it acts as a crouching lion, the jackal must defecate and urinate before it will do. If it acts as the precious sword of the Diamond King, even the Heavenly King's head must split open. Only by shouting horizontally and shouting vertically in this way is it entirely called discussing principle.”
