The cause and effect between monk Dishui and Zen Master Yishan

In the cold winter month, a monk named Drops of Water went to Tianlong Temple to pay homage to Zen Master Yishan.It was snowing heavily outside, but Zen Master Yishan refused to let him in.The monk was kneeling outside the door, and he knelt for three days.Seeing that he was pitiful, the disciples of Yishan pleaded for him, but Yishan said: I am not a shelter, so I will not take in those who have no place to stay! The disciples had no choice but to walk away.

On the fourth day, the monk's body began to bleed.

He fell down again and again and again, but he still knelt there, unable to move.Yishan ordered his disciples: No one is allowed to open the door, otherwise he will be driven out!

Seven days later, the monk couldn't hold on and fell down.Yishan came out and tried his nose, and there was still a trace of breath, so he ordered him to help him in.Drip water finally entered the school of Zen Master Yishan.

One day, monk Dishui asked Zen Master Yishan: What is the difference between Wushu and Prajna?

As soon as he finished speaking, Yishan punched him and shouted: How can you ask this question? Get out!

Drip water was dizzy by Yishan's fist. There was only Yishan's roar in his ears. Suddenly, Drip water figured it out: both being and not being are our superficial consciousness. You see I have, I see I don't.

Another time, I caught a cold when I was blowing my nose with paper, and I was seeing it. He shouted loudly: Your nose is more precious than other people's blood and sweat? Are you wasting white paper? I dare not wipe it out again.
