Daguang's Laughing

Text

A monk asked Daguang, "A master of dance has finished her performance. Where has she gone?" Daguang said, "Spring breeze has not yet warmed enough." The monk pressed, "When does spring breeze warm enough?" Daguang said, "The hibiscus at Shoshan." The monk said, "I don't understand." Daguang laughed out loud. Yunmen commented: "One laugh from Daguang contains a thousand teachings. But where in the laugh do the teachings live?"
