2.92

臺山路上有一婆子,凡有僧問:「臺山路向什麼處去?」婆云:「驀直去。」僧纔行,婆云:「好箇阿師,又恁麼去也。」趙州聞云:「我與爾勘破這婆子。」遂往問,婆亦如是。州迴,舉似大眾云:「勘破婆子了也。」

On the road to Mount Tai there was an old woman. Whenever a monk asked, "Which way is the road to Mount Tai?" the old woman would say, "Go straight ahead." As soon as the monk took a step, she would say, "Such a fine master, off he goes like that too!" Zhaozhou heard of this and said: "I will go and see through this old woman for you." He thereupon went and asked, and the old woman responded the same way. Zhaozhou returned and told the assembly: "I have seen through the old woman for you."
