The Monk That Didn't Get Hit.

Dajue came to see Linji. The master raised his whisk. Dajue spread his sitting cloth. The master threw down the whisk. Dajue folded up the cloth and went into the Monks’ Hall.

“That monk must be related to the Venerable Priest. He didn’t bow and didn’t get hit,” said the monks.

Hearing of this, the master sent for Dajue. When Dajue came out, the master said, “The monks are saying that you haven’t yet paid your respects to the master.”

“How are you?” said Dajue and rejoined the monks.
