- Small and Large Cloves of Garlic
- 1 Ho-yun once complained it was difficult to follow Sahng-jeh-nim everywhere.
- 2 He replied, “Look at the leaves on a tree. Some face upward, some face downward, others shake in the wind.
- 3 You do not understand yet because you are only a child. When you grow up and can better understand, you’ll say, ‘Aha, I see! I have a name.’
- 4 Among types of bamboo, there are thick, medium, and thin. Among types of garlic, there are small and large. Why shouldn’t there be a person of greater capacity?”
- (JSD Dojeon 3,160)
