From Treasury of the Forest of Ancestors:
One day Master Deshan said to the community, “As soon as you ask, you've missed it. If you refrain from asking, you've also missed it.” Then a monk came forward and made a bow. The master hit him. The monk said, “I haven't even asked anything yet. Why did you hit me?” The master said, “What difference would it make if I'd waited until you spoke?”
