2.41

Chan Master Qiyue of Shangfang in Anji Prefecture. A monk asked, "What is bodhi?" The Master said, "Bricks and tiles." The monk said, "What is the meaning?" The Master said, "Suffering." He ascended the hall: "Gradually gathering yellow leaves to burn blue smoke, / On a bamboo couch, fully clothed, I sleep at midnight. / After gruel, dismissing the evening assembly with three beats of the drum; / Who can talk further of the Patriarch Chan?" He then stepped down from the seat.
