Chao-chou: “I am nothing but a donkey.”
Wen-yuan:“A donkey? You’re SO lucky. I am merely a donkey’s buttocks.”
Chao-chou: “Actually, I dream that I could one day be a donkey’s buttocks. At the moment, I am what comes out of the donkey’s buttocks.”
Wen-yuan: “You’re privileged. I’d give anything to be what comes out of donkey’s buttocks. For I am but a worm living in what comes out of a donkey’s buttocks. And do you know why I’m there?”
Chao-chou: “Why?”
Wen-yuan: “Because I wanted to go somewhere special for my summer holidays.”

1) A student is on one side of a raging river. There are no bridges. He has no boat. He shouts out to the master on the opposite bank. “How do I get to the other side?” The master shouts back: “You are on the other side.”
2) Master: “You stop being a young student and become a great master when you realize that you don’t exist.” Student: “To whom do you speak, young student?”

“Things are not what they seem; nor are they otherwise.”

“A Zen master once said to me, ‘Do the opposite of whatever I tell you.’ So I didn't.”
