Once, a patriarch said to his disciples, "For thirty years I have been saying things to deceive you." One of the disciples responded, "You should have retired long ago." The next day, the patriarch dug a hole large enough for a body. He called the monk who made the remark and said, "If it is true that I should have retied, then bury me. Otherwise, I will bury you. " The monk ran away. Is the problem with the master or monk? This sounds like a crazy Ch'an story, but there is meaning in it. Let the reader contemplate it.
