僧問:「承古有言:『未有一人倒地,不因地而起。』如何是倒?」師曰:「肯即是。」僧云:「如何是起?」師曰:「起也。」

A monk asked, "I accept the ancient saying: 'There has never been a person who fell to the ground who did not rise by means of the ground.' What is falling?" The Master said, "Assenting is it." The monk said, "What is rising?" The Master said, "Arisen!"
