Qingping requested his trainer, Cuiwei, “What’s the precise which means of the Bodhidharma’s coming from India?” Cuiwei mentioned, “I’ll let you know when nobody is round.” After some time Qingping mentioned, “There isn’t any one now. Please inform me, Grasp.” Cuiwei obtained down from the meditation platform and took Qingping right into a bamboo backyard. Qingping mentioned once more, “There isn’t any one right here. Please inform me.” Pointing to the bamboos, Cuiwei mentioned, “This bamboo is tall simply as it’s. That bamboo is brief simply as it’s.”
Scholar: “What did Cuiwei imply by ‘This bamboo is tall simply as it’s. That bamboo is brief simply as it’s’?”
Grasp: “I can’t let you know till nobody is with you.”
