Woonmun’s ‘A phrase that can penetrate the Dharma-body’

A monk asked Master Woonmun, “What is a phrase that can penetrate the Dharma-body?”

Woonmun answered, “I hide my body in the Great Bear constellation.”

Student: “How can Woonmun hide his body in the Great Bear in the sky?”

Master: “He can do it when you can’t see what he shows you.”

Commentary:

Hiding is not different from revealing.
