Two Excerpts from Ma-Tsu

Once a group of monks came to see the Master. The Master asked, "Where did it go right now?"

One of the monks said, "It is here."

The Master asked, "Where is it?"

The monk snapped his fingers once.


On another occasion the Master and Tan-hsia arrived at Ma-ku Mountain. The Master said, "I am going to stay here."

Tan-hsia said, "Let you stay if you wish, but is there still any of that?"

The Master said, "Take good care."

They're not talking about the tea this time, are they?
