He brought up: "A monk called upon Great Master Ma. The Master drew a circle and said, 'If you enter, I strike; if you do not enter, I strike.' The monk entered, and the Master struck. The monk said, 'The Upādhyāya cannot strike me.' The Great Master leaned his staff aside and ceased." The Master said, "Neither of them understood thoroughly. 'The Upādhyāya cannot strike me'—leaning his staff aside: before he can hesitate, hit him across the back!"
