When Mamiya, who later became a famous preacher, came to a teacher to study, the teacher asked him to explain what one palm clap was. Mamiya began to concentrate on the question, what is the clap of one palm?
“You're not working hard enough,” the teacher told him. “You are too attached to food, wealth, things and all that.” It would be better if you died, that would solve the problem.
The next time Mamiya appeared before the teacher, he again asked to see what the clap of one palm was. Mamiya immediately fell to the ground as if dead.
“You died very well,” said the teacher, looking at him. - But what about cotton?
“I haven’t solved this problem yet,” Mamiya answered, looking at the teacher from below.
“Dead people don’t talk,” said the teacher, “get out!”
