One day after Shigong Huicang
had been training for a while, Mazu Daoyi visited him while he was at work in
the kitchen. “What are you doing?” the
master asked.
“I am tending an ox,” Shigong
informed him.
“Are you now? How do you attend to this ox?”
“If it strays from the path, I
pull it back by the nose without a moment’s delay.”
“That is certainly how to attend
to it,” Mazu admitted.
