Grasp Uisan stated to an meeting, “I might be reborn as a buffalo in a village down the mountain after 100 years. Then, there would be the phrases ‘monastic Uisan’ written on the buffalo’s left facet. In the event you name me monastic Uisan, what is going to change into of the buffalo? In the event you name me buffalo, what is going to change into of monastic Uisan? Inform me what you need to name me.” Then, Angsan stepped ahead and supplied a bow.
Pupil: “What ought to we name him?”
Grasp: “I’ll name him buffalo.”
Pupil: “Then, what would change into of monastic Uisan?”
Grasp: “I’m extra anxious what is going to change into of you.”
