Post Summary:

"Once the master was in charge of keeping the fires at the monastery. One day, while everyone was out tending the garden, the master went inside the monk's hall and shouted, "Help, fire! Help, fire!"

Everyone rushed back to the monk's hall, but the master had closed and barred the door. No one knew what to do. Finally, Nan- ch'uan (Nansen) took the key from its hook and threw it into the room through the window.

Note: Temple doors have an exterior padlock for when nobody is inside, and an interior bar for when everybody is.
