One day a monk asked Master Woonmun, “What is the Buddha?” He answered, “He is a rude man.” The monk said, “What is his Dharma talk?” The master said, “It’s a talk about something.” The monk asked, “What is the right eye that can see it?” The master said, “Wide.”
Student: “What is the something the Buddha talked about?”
Master: “Woonmun talked about it as well.”
Commentary:
The Buddha and all ancient masters talked about nothing but themselves.
