Hekiganroku 16
translated by Anzan Hoshin roshi
A monk said to Jingquing, I am pecking from the inside; will
you tap from the outside?
Jinqiung said, Will you live or not?
The monk said, If I could not attain life, I would become a
laughingstock.
Jinqing said, You are just another man in the weeds.
