Changsha Wandering in the Mountains (BCR36)
KOAN:
One day Changsha went for a walk in the mountains.
When he returned to the temple gate someone asked, “Where have you been?”
Changsha said, “Wandering about the hills. I went out following the scented grass and came back chasing the falling blossoms.”
—Blue Cliff Record, Case 36
