Ma-tsu was to give a lecture; people had gathered like clouds. He ascended to his place and sat a while. Then Po-chang rolled up his bowing mat. Thereupon Ma-tsu left the hall.
One day Po-chang went to visit the Master Ma-tsu in the lecture hall. Ma-tsu took a flywhisk from the corner of his chair and fooled with it. Po-chang asked, "Just this, or is there another way?" Ma-tsu put it back saying, "After this what will you use to help men?" Po-chang himself took the flywhisk and displayed it. Ma-tsu said, "Just this, or is there another way?"
Po-chang hung the flywhisk up, and waited. Ma-tsu shouted, "K'AAA!"
