8.36

Upādhyāya Shuitang of Tingzhou: The master tested Guizong, saying, "Where are you from?" Guizong said, "From Chenzhou." The master said, "How old are you?" Guizong said, "Twenty-two." The master said, "Before you were born, ācārya, this old monk was already coming and going." Guizong said, "When was the Master born?" The master held up his whisk. Guizong said, "Can this one have birth?" The master said, "If you understand it, there is no birth." Guizong said, "Not yet!" The master was silent.
