-- Yen-t‘ou’s Water Pail --
Three monks, Hsüeh-fêng,
Ch‘in-shan, and Yen-t‘ou, met in the temple garden. Hsüeh-fêng saw a water pail
and pointed to it. Ch‘in-shan said, “The water is clear, and the moon reflects
its image.”
“No, no,” said Hsüeh-fêng, “it is not water, it is not moon.”
Yen-t‘ou turned over the pail.
