Send us a text   One day a monk came to visit Guizong as he was weeding the garden with a hoe. Suddenly, a snake appeared. Guizong took the hoe and chopped it in two.   The monk said, "Long have I heard that Guizong was a crude-mannered teacher."   Guizong said, "Are you crude or am I crude?"   The monk then asked, "What is ‘crude’?"   Guizong held the hoe upright in the air.   The monk said, "What is ‘refined’?"   Guizong then assumed a posture to chop the snake.   The monk said, "If you let it, it will go away by itself."   Guizong said, "If I let it go away, how could you see me chop the snake?"   The monk was silent.Support the show
