漢南穀城縣高亭和尚。有僧自夾山來禮拜。師便打。僧云。特來禮拜。師何打。其僧再禮拜。師又打趁。僧迴舉似夾山。夾山云。汝會也無。僧云。不會。夾山云。賴汝不會。若會即夾山口瘂。

Upādhyāya Gaoting of Gucheng County in Hannan. A monk came from Jiashan to pay homage, and the Master immediately struck him. The monk said, “I came specially to pay homage; why does the Master strike me?” The monk bowed again, and the Master struck and drove him away again. The monk returned and related this to Jiashan. Jiashan said, “Did you understand?” The monk said, “I did not understand.” Jiashan said, “It is fortunate you did not understand; had you understood, Jiashan’s mouth would be dumb.”
