筠州洞山悟本禪師語錄 1.74

1.74

The master of a hermitage was unwell; whenever he saw a monk he would say, "Save me, save me!" Most replies did not tally. The Master then went to visit him. The master of the hermitage also said, "Save me." The Master said, "Save you with what?" The master of the hermitage said, "Are you not the grandson of Yaoshan and the true son of Yunyan?" The Master said, "I dare not presume so." The master of the hermitage joined his palms and said, "Everyone, see me off," and thereupon passed away. A monk asked the Master, "Where has the deceased monk gone upon passing away?" The Master said, "A stalk of cogon grass after a fire."
