1.79

Zhaozhou went to a hermit's place and asked: "Is anyone here? Is anyone here?" The master held up a fist. Zhaozhou said: "The water is shallow; this is not a place to moor a boat," and thereupon left. He came to another hermit's place and said: "Is anyone here? Is anyone here?" That master also held up a fist. Zhaozhou said: "He can release, he can take away; he can kill, he can give life," and thereupon made a bow.
