Sthavira Huo once went to Baizhang. Baizhang said, "Ācārya, I have a matter to ask you; may I?" Huo said, "Fortunately it is not about words, so why make clamorous chatter?" Baizhang said, "Having pacified Annan, one worries again about the northern frontier." Huo tore open his chest and said, "Like this? Or not like this?" Baizhang said, "After all, it is hard to grasp; after all, it is hard to grasp." Huo said, "Knowing is enough; knowing is enough." The Master said, "If anyone knows the destination of these two men, he is certainly extraordinary. If one cannot discern it, it is very much like losing one's way in bright daylight."
