One day, when Yün-chü was doing garden work, he accidentally chopped an earthworm. The Master,said “Watch out!”
“It didn’t die”, said Yün-chü.
“What about when the Second Patriarch went to Yeh-chou?” said the Master.
Notes: the second patriarch Huike was arrested and killed when he went to Yeh-chou, apparently for interfering with some other guy’s dharma talk.
This is from The Record of Tung-shan.
