2.24

Case: Dizang asked Fayan, 'Where is the elder going?' (Why frame someone?) Fayan said, 'Wandering on pilgrimage.' (Off to pay for straw sandals.) Dizang said, 'What is the business of pilgrimage?' (Indeed, he doesn't let him pass.) Fayan said, 'I do not know.' (Why didn't you say so earlier?) Dizang said, 'Not knowing is most intimate.' (A highway robbery on the spot.) Fayan was suddenly greatly enlightened. (Narrowly spared travelling expenses.)
