Ascending the hall, he cited: "Linji entered the capital to solicit alms, saying, 'In ordinary fashion, fill the bowl.' He arrived at the front door of a household, and the old woman said, 'Far too insatiable!' Linji said, 'I haven't even received rice yet, so why do you say far too insatiable?' The old woman then shut the door." The Master said: "Flies seeing blood, falcons seizing doves; a fist comes, a kick returns; glued and lacquered together. Where it is hard to bring up, it turns even more charming."
