142 from The Recorded Sayings of Zen Master Joshu:
A monk asked, "What is your 'family custom'?"
The master said, "My ears are far away. Speak more loudly."
The monk asked again.
The master said, "You asked about my family custom but I, on the contrary, found out all about your family custom."
What did the master find out when the monk repeated the question? Did the master hear the monk the first time he asked?
Is the master's response answering the monk's question? Did the master's first response answer the monk's question?
