有一天, 臨濟問:「一人用棒打, 一人喝斥, 哪個親近?」

元安說:「都不親近。」

臨濟再問:「你怎樣理解親近?」

元安大喝一聲。 臨濟的禪杖落了下來。

請問大家,哪個親近?

One day, Zen Master Linchi asked, "One person use hitting with stick to teach, another use shouting to teach, which is more intimate?"

Yuan An said, "Both are not intimate."

Linchi asked again, "How do you understand intimate?"

KATZ! Yuan An gave a vast shout!

Linchi hit him with the stick.

Which is more intimate?
