Master Yeomgwan’s Buffalo Horn Fan (1) – Zen Fools

One day, Master Yeomgwan called his attendant and said, “Bring me the buffalo horn fan.”
The attendant replied, “The fan is completely broken.”
The master then said, “If the fan is broken, bring the buffalo to me.”
The attendant had no response.

Student: “What is the buffalo fan?”
Master: “It can blow fiery heat away by fanning once.”

Commentary:
All people have it, but few can use it.
