Dunshan came to Yunmen, who asked him where he was from.
“I’m from Chadu,” Dongshan replied.
“Which temple did you stay at for the summer?” - Yunmen asked.
“In the Baozi Temple in Hunan,” answered Dongshan.
"When did you leave him?" - Yunmen continued.
“On the eighth moon, on the 25th,” came the answer.
Yunmen said: “I have to give you three blows with sticks, but I forgive you.”
The next day, Dongshan bowed to Yunmen and asked him: “Yesterday you freed me from three blows with sticks, but I don’t even know what my fault was.”
“You’re just a sack full of rice, dragging from place to place!” - Yunmen shouted.
At that moment, Dongshan saw the light.
