學生問隱山禪師：「你從哪裡來？」

隱山說:「從來處而來。」

「那麼,你要到哪裡去?」

隱山點點頭,說:「到去的地方去。」

「你的家在什麼地方?」

隱山反問:「家,有固定的地方嗎?」

「你總應該知道自己叫什麼吧?」

隱山說:「你有名字,可是,名字是你嗎?」

A student asked Yinshan Zen Master, “Where do you come from?”

Yinshan replied, “From where I come from.”

Student asked, “Then where are you going?”

Yinshan nodded and said, “Going to where I am going.”

Student asked, “Where is your home?”

Yinshan asked back, “Is there a fixed place called home?”

Student exclaimed, “You should at least know your name!”

Yinshan replied, “You have a name, but is it yours?”
