9.30

As soon as the Master saw a monk enter, he said, "You do not understand, get out." The monk went out. Next, a monk entered, and the Master likewise said, "You do not understand, get out." That monk also went out. Another monk entered, and the Master said, "Of the two elders just now, one knew how to gather in but not how to let go, and one knew how to let go but not how to gather in. Can you distinguish them?" The monk said, "The charge has been acknowledged and accepted." The Master said, "After accepting it, what other good news is there?" The monk clapped his hands once and went out. The Master said, "You will attain awakening thirty years from now."
