once a monk was asked by Kyozan, ´where have you come from?´
to which the monk replied, ´from Yushu.´
Kyozan then asked him, I´d like to know something interesting about Yushu; whats the price of rice there?´
the monk replied , ´ as I was coming here, I unintentionally passed over the bridge of that town and trod into the girders of the bridge , breaking them.´

​

on another occasion Kyozan was washing his clohes and Tangen asked him, ´what should we do at his moment? ´
Kyozan answred , ´at this moment where shall we look?´
Tangen made no reply.

at another time Kyozan saw a snowman and, pointing to it,
said to the group of the monks around him, ´is there anything whiter
than that?´
his monks were unresponsive.
