In one Chinese monastery, students practiced combat movements. One student was having trouble with this movement. No matter how they showed him, no matter how they told him, he could not do it correctly.
Then the master came up to him and said something to him quietly. The student bowed and left. Training continued without him. No one saw this student all day, but the next day, when he took his place among the others, everyone saw that he was performing this movement perfectly.
One of the students asked another who was standing next to the master and could hear what he said to the student:
“Did you hear what the master told him?”
- Yes, I heard.
- And what?
“He told him, 'Go to the backyard and just repeat this movement 1,600 times.'
