He cited: "Yangshan was attending Guishan when he suddenly heard a bird cry. Guishan said: 'That speaks of the matter directly.' [Yangshan] said: 'You must not say that to anyone else.' Guishan said: 'Why?' He said: 'Because it speaks too straightforwardly.' Guishan said: 'How many Dharma-gates have you overturned at once, Jizi?' He said: 'What is the overturned matter like?' Guishan struck the meditation bed three times."
