He cited: "Upādhyāya Yunju Ying heard that a monk was living in a hermitage below the mountain. He ordered his attendant to deliver a pair of trousers to him. The monk said, 'I have the trousers my mother gave birth to me in,' and would not accept them. [Yunju] again ordered the attendant to go and ask, 'Before your mother gave birth to you, what did you wear?' The monk was speechless."
