#What did we end up talking about?

舉。葉縣省和尚問僧。日暮投林。朝離何處。云。某甲不曾參禪。縣云。爾生身入地獄。 僧無語。 代云。誰不承恩。

Yexian Sheng, the Chan master, asked a monk, 'In the evening you enter the forest. In the morning, where do you leave from?' The monk replied, 'I have not yet engaged in Zen inquiry [參禪 (cān chán)].' Yexian said, 'You are alive and yet you enter hell.' The monk was speechless. Someone else said on his behalf, 'Who does not receive grace?'"
