Chan Master Yin of Darong in Yingzhou. The master ascended the hall. A monk asked, "After the heavenly bestowed six-zhu robe is put on, how will you repay our emperor's benevolence?" The master said, "Arriving, I don the three patch-robes; returning, I hang up the six-zhu garment." He asked, "What is the water of Darong?" The master said, "Return a single drop to me." He asked, "How will it be when Maitreya descends to be born in the future?" The master said, "The three spring grasses in the palace of the Compassionate One." He asked, "What is true emptiness?" The master said, "Take away the sunshade." He asked, "What is the wondrous function?" The master clenched his fist. The monk said, "How far apart are true emptiness and wondrous function?" The master brushed it away with his hand. He asked, "Leaving aside the long snake and the reclining moon, what is it like when there is a single horse and a single spear?" The master said, "Do you understand beneath the Majiang Bridge?" The monk said, "I do not understand." The master said, "In front of Shengshou Temple." He asked, "Since it is Darong (Great Capacity), why drive out monks?" The master said, "The great ocean does not tolerate dust; a small ravine has much rubbish." He asked, "What is the single path of the ancient Buddhas?" The master pointed to the ground. The monk said, "I am not asking about this." The master said, "Go away!" The master made an appointment with an elder master to go somewhere else, but afterward did not go due to some business. The elder master said, "Buddhas have no two words." The master said, "The Dharma has no single direction."
