2.324

"The king asked the venerable one: 'Have you, master, attained the supreme Dharma?' He said: 'I have already attained it.' The king asked: 'Do you have fear regarding birth and death?' He said: 'I have already transcended birth and death.' [The king said:] 'Since you have transcended birth and death, you can give me your head.' The master said: 'My body is not mine; how much less should I begrudge giving my head?'" Differing [from the original words], he said: "Do you recognize the head?"
"The king then brought down his sword; head and arm fell together." Differing [from the original words], he said: "I knew the master would not begrudge it."
