22.65

Chan Master Man of Mount Wenmen in Shaozhou. A monk asked, "What is the Buddha?" The master said, "The chest inscribed with the svastika character." The monk said, "What is the patriarch?" The master said, "Without traveling to the Western Land, there is someone who sees the painting on the wall." He asked, "Since it is a thousand-foot pine, why is it beneath the roof?" The master said, "How does a mustard seed contain Mount Sumeru?" He asked, "Seeing the horn over the wall and immediately knowing it is an ox—how about that?" The master then hit him. The master was sitting at the capital's gate with an elder master. The elder master said, "You have obtained the purple robe and the master's title. What else do you want?" The master said, "I want to be a National Teacher." The elder master said, "One does not even act as a Buddha, how much less a National Teacher!" The master then smiled and said, "Elder!" A monk asked, "What is the Upādhyāya's house style?" The master said, "Have you ever read books?" A monk asked, "Why did the crown prince not recognize his parents when he was first born?" The master said, "Eminently noble and exalted."
