Stories told in this text
Zhixian, a student of Linji, came to Moshan intending to test the nun who taught there, and if she was no good, to overturn her seat. The nun, Moshan Liaoran, sent an attendant to ask whether he had come to look at the mountain or for the dharma. For the dharma, he said. She took the high seat and he came up.
When Layman Pang decided it was time to die, he sat down and told his daughter Lingzhao to go outside and see how high the sun was, and come back and tell him when it reached noon. She went out, came back, and said the sun was at noon and there was an eclipse. He went out to look.
