Dayu took leave of Guizong one day. Guizong asked him, "Where are you going?" Dayu said, "To study the five-flavor Chan all over." Guizong said, "They have five-flavor Chan all over; here I only have one flavor Chan."
Dayu then asked, "What is your one-flavor Chan?"
Guizong smacked him right away. All at once Dayu was greatly enlightened. He said, "Hah, I understand."
Guizong said, "Speak, speak!"*
As Dayu was about to open his mouth, Guizong hit him again and chased him out.
When Guanxi first called on Linji, as soon as he entered the door Linji grabbed him by the chest and held him. Guanxi immediately said, "I get it, I get it." Linji then pushed him away.
Questions:
Who can give me a taste of all five flavors?
Who can give me a sense of what it's like when a Zen Master says "Speak, speak!"
Who can relate to being punished and chased away before you have a chance to open your mouth?
Who can relate to being pushed away after you say "I get it"?
