The Shoyoroku Case 27: Fayan Points to the Screen is a koan in which Fayan Wenyi points to a screen with his hand, and when two monks roll up the screen at the same time, Fayan says, “One gains, and one loses (one person gains, and one person loses).” Usually, people say that “even if people take the same action, gain and loss are divided depending on the state of their minds.” However, in this dictionary, we define it as a practical lesson: “we must face the ‘Genjokoan’ before discrimination arises and manifest our Original Face without being trapped by concepts.”
Q: Why did Fayan say "one gains, and one loses" to the two monks who rolled up the screen in exactly the same way?
A: Because it shakes the discriminatory minds of readers and the assembly, who fall into discrimination (dualistic interpretation) such as "which one passed and which one failed," and directly presents the "Genjokoan" beyond thinking.
