This works better...and in regard HuangPo, I prefer this anecdote about him to his teachings...that after he achieved enlightenment and came down from the mountain, he encountered a monk and had this exchange: (btw...HP supposedly was over 7' tall)

"Magnificent and imposing, I have come from the mountains."
"What have you come for?"
"Not for anything else."
