10.38

Chan Master Tanzhao of Baima in Jingnan would often say, "Delightful, delightful!" When he approached the end of his life, he cried out, "Pain, pain!" and also said, "King Yama has come to take me!"
The temple director asked, "When the Venerable was thrown into the water by the military commissioner at that time, your countenance did not change. Why are you like this now?"
The Master held up his pillow and said, "Do you say that time was right, or is now right?"
The temple director had no reply. (Fayan said in substitute, "At this moment, just cover your ears and go out.")
