through and through...

A monk by the name of E-cho asked Hogen Buneki, a Master, "What is 
buddha?" 

"You are E-cho," the Master replied.

This reply of Hogen means, "Why do you seek for Buddha apart from E-cho who is sitting here right now?  
Where E-cho is E-cho through and through, there you see Buddha."

Zenkei  Shibayama, On Zazen Wasan
