Chao Chou Can't Explain

A monk asked Chao Chou, " 'The Ultimate Path has no difficulties-just avoid picking and choosing'-isn't this a cliche for people of these times?"

Chou said, "Once someone asked me, and I really couldn't explain for five years."


dcj commentary: Determining what is cliche today is a tough one.
