1.78

When Magu came for an interview, he spread his sitting mat and asked, "Of the twelve-faced Avalokiteśvara, which face is the primary one?" The master stepped down from his rope chair, gathered up the sitting mat with one hand and seized Magu with the other, saying, "Where has the twelve-faced Avalokiteśvara gone?" Magu turned around and was about to sit on the rope chair; the master took up his staff and struck him. Magu parried it, and gripping each other they entered the Abbot's quarters.
