Hekiganroku - Case 95: Chokei's "Three Poisons"

One day Chokei said, 
  "Even if you argue that an arhat [1] still possesses 'the three poisons',
   don't argue that the Tathagata has two sorts of language. I do not say
   the Tathagata has no words. I only say he does not have two kinds
   of language."
Hofuku said,
  "What are the words of the Tathagata?"
Chokei said,
  "How can a deaf man hear?"
Hofuku said,
  "Now I know that your language belongs to the second level."
Chokei said,
  "What are the words of the Tathagata?"
Hofuku said, 
  "Have some tea." 

[1]: An arhat is a sacred person who has reached the spiritual dimension
     without any traces of "the three poisons": covetousness, anger, folly.
