Whenever the master saw a monk, he would look at him with his eyes, and immediately say "Look!" or say "Bah!" The recorders wrote it as "Looking, Look, Bah!" Later, Chan Master Deshan Yuanming Mi deleted the word "Looking" and only said "Look, Bah!" Therefore the monasteries referred to it as "extracting 'looking'." He then composed a verse to clarify it, which was also called "raising and recommending in consultation." The verse said:
"Meeting face-to-face without raising an eyebrow,
You go east and I also go west.
Red clouds pierce the azure sky;
The bright sun circles Mount Sumeru."
