# What did we talk about?

What are the three vehicles?  How about "obedience, compassion, and esoteric knowledge" as translations?

weeds are a metaphor for what?  Buddha planted a bunch of seeds.

A monk asked Shitou, "What is the cardial meaning of the patrairchs? Shitou said "Right in front of me is a stretch of weeds that Ive never hoed in the past thirty years." Later someone mentioned this remark to the master [Yunyan]. The master said, "The ox doesn't eat the weeds along the edge of its pen."

When exactly does Linji get upset at the lecturer monk/master?
