Chan Master Linggui of Mount Sanjiao in Qizhou first went to study under Qingping. Qingping asked, "What did you come to do?" / The Master said, "I came to pay homage." / Qingping said, "Pay homage to whom?" / The Master said, "I came specially to pay homage to the upādhyāya." / Qingping scolded, "This dull-witted master!" / The Master then made prostrations. Qingping struck him on the neck with his hand. From then on, the Master hitched up his robes and secretly grasped the fundamental principle. After he became abbot, a monk asked, "What is the Buddha?" / The Master said, "Come tomorrow and I will tell you. Right now, it cannot be told."
