5.7

Chan Master Huaiyou of Dahui in Tanzhou. A monk asked, “A person is tested with words; gold is tested with fire. I wonder, what does a patch-robed monk use to test?” The master said, “The staff.” The monk said, “What about in the end?” The master said, “Step back.” The monk assented. The master then struck him and said, “When told to stop, you refuse to stop; you wait straight until the rain drenches your head.”
