The Master asked Nanquan, ”Please say something that is apart from the four statements and beyond the hundred negations.”
No.
Nanquan returned to his room.
How will you assess that?
The Master said, ”That old priest. Every day he chatters and chatters, yet at this one question of mine he cannot say one word in reply.”
Family tradition doesn’t admit of imitation; did Nanquan advance or retreat?
The attendant said, ”It is better if you’d o not say that he did not speak”
The Master slapped him.
Did Zhaozhou speak or not?
What was the attendants error?
