Shoyoroku - Case 52: Sozan's "Dharma-body" Sozan asked Elder Toku, "'The true Dharma-body of Buddha is like the empty sky. It manifests its form corresponding to things -- just like the moon on the water.' [1] How do you explain the principle of this corresponding?" Toku said, "It is like a donkey looking into a well." Sozan said, "You put it in a nice way, but you were able to say only eighty percent." Toku said, "How about you, Master?" Sozan said, "It is like a well looking at a donkey."
