Once when Master Yunmen was giving a talk he mentioned three kinds of people: "The first awakens when hearing a talk, the second awakens when called, and the third turns around and leaves when hearing that anything is brought up. Tell me, what does turning around and going away mean?"
Answering for the assembly, he said, "The third also deserves thirty blows."
Yunmen Wenyan [864–949]
