‘Yunmen entered the hall to address the monks, saying, “Why are you all aimlessly coming here looking for something? I only know how to eat and shit. What use is there explaining anything else?’ (Zen’s Chinese Heritage)
Suffice to say that Yunmen did not stop there, but continued berating his monks, and then drove them out of the hall with his staff. Perhaps they got the point.
