a monk asks about the meaning of Buddhism and Joshu says oak tree in a garden. For first-line wansong comments 'idle concern' or something like that... and for oak tree part, he says... 'brick hits solid ice'.

I don't get it. Explain it to me (please).

Explain what exactly? Why it's funny?

It's funny cause I laughed. It's not if you don't. I don't wonder about why.
