How to Say ?

Decades ago in Korea, two zen masters met in a temple. One master asked, " Please set forth your true mind without talk, silence, motion and still." The other kept silence for a time. Then, the former asked, " Are you presenting it by silence ?" The other said, "NO."

Late on, a discreet young master heard this story, looked up the former and said, "It is like you two fell into mud pool, grabbing each other by the neck." The former said, " What would you have done, if you had been there ?"

He said, "What do you ask me to set forth without talk, silence, motion and still."
