Hekiganroku - Case 80: Joshu and a "Newborn Infant"

A monk asked Joshu,
  "Does a newborn infant have the Six Functions [1] or not?"
Joshu said,
  "Throwing a ball on the swift current."
The monk asked also Tosu,
  "What does 'throwing a ball on the swift current' mean?"
Tosu said,
  "Every consciousness flows without ceasing."
