A monastic requested Grasp Sosan, “Is there a phrase past proper and fallacious?” The grasp answered, “Sure, there may be.” The monastic stated, “What’s it?” The grasp stated, “A patch of remoted cloud by no means reveals its ugly look.”

Scholar: “Why is ‘A patch of remoted cloud by no means reveals its ugly look’ a phrase past proper and fallacious?”

Grasp: “As a result of it’s formless.”

Scholar: “A patch of remoted cloud is a type as effectively.”

Grasp: “What you see is a distorted ugly look.”

Commentary:

A phrase past proper and fallacious seems ugly as a result of your eye illness.
