You see much, where there is little. ;)
All that, the "flexibility", the "others" - are you. Apparent aspects of
your experiencing - of mind. Whatever you may learn, right or wrong, same.
In other words, whatever is seen is simply a stream of apparent
reactions - "some" of those reactions appearing separated out from
"others" and assembled into stories of "master" and "monk" - of
judgements an labels thereof - all of this arising in/as mind.
"In" & "as" being apparent/relative aspects of suchness. Same. "In" mind
representing 'Ordinary mind', "as" mind representing 'Buddha mind' -
these being realized as one.
Thus, the master's actions serve to confound the monks' efforts to find
what they already embody.
K - Who says much, where there is little. ;)
