1.84

A hermitage master was indisposed; whenever he saw a monk, he would say, "Save me! Save me!" Many offered words, but none hit the mark. The Master then went to visit him, and the hermitage master also said, "Save me!" The Master said, "What rescue?" The hermitage master said, "Could you be the grandson of Yaoshan and true son of Yunyan?" The Master said, "I would not dare." The hermitage master joined his palms and said, "Let us all see each other off," and thereupon passed away. A monk asked, "Where has the deceased monk gone upon passing away?" The Master said, "A stalk of cogon grass after the fire."
