1.24

One day, while the Master was attending Guishan, they suddenly heard a bird call. Guishan said: "It speaks of the matter quite directly." The Master said: "You must not say so to others." Guishan said: "Why do you say so?" The Master said: "Because its speech is too straightforward." Guishan said: "How many dharma gates has Jizi swept aside at once!" The Master said: "How is the matter of sweeping aside?" Guishan knocked three times on the meditation seat.
