23.34

Upādhyāya Henglong of Nanyue. The King of Chu, surnamed Ma, invited him to reside at Jinlun. A monk asked, 'What is the first phrase of Jinlun?' The master said, 'A dull fellow.' He asked, 'What is the single arrow of Jinlun?' The master said, 'It has passed.' He asked, 'What is the ancestral lamp?' The master said, 'The eight winds cannot blow it out.' He said, 'Then darkness will not arise.' The master said, 'In the bright daylight there are no idle people.'
