BCR 21 and Continuity of Self

A monk asked Chih Men, "How is it when the lotus flower has not yet emerged from the water?"

Chih Men said, "A Lotus flower."

The monk said, "What about after it has emerged from the water?"

Men said, "Lotus leaves."

I just bumped into this one searching for something else and it hit me fairly hard.

Ha! The memories!
