20.9

Upādhyāya Shuinan Nantai of Tanzhou. A monk asked, "What is the single drop of water here?" The master said, "Once it enters the mouth, it is seized and pulled out." [A monk] asked, "What is the meaning of [the Patriarch's] coming from the West?" The master said, "The thread at the tip of the boot has burst." [A monk] asked, "The patriarchs transmitted it to one another; may I ask, what did they transmit?" The master said, "Were it not for your asking, the old monk would not know either."
