Jigme: <<"What is this costume?" (turning this metaphore to kung an)

Effective metaphore is so seldom seen on these NGs anymore, nuance goes over
the heads of literalists with specific agendas to grind.>>

Tang: <<So you want to grind the costumes away, Jigme, to reveal the Buddha,
eh? Didn't Hui-neng say that if you take a Buddha statue and polish it, it
will never become a Buddha?>>

Jigme: <<Thanks for illustrating my point.>>
