2.14

Guishan instructed the assembly, saying: "After this old monk passes away, I will go down the mountain to a patron's house and become a water buffalo, with a line of words written on my left flank saying: 'Venerable So-and-so of Guishan.' If you call it a monk of Guishan, yet it is a water buffalo; if you call it a water buffalo, yet it is a monk of Guishan. At such a time, what do you call it?"
