Post Summary:
On another day, Tan-hsia came to visit the Layman. As he entered the gateway they saw each other and Tan-hsia asked, "Is the Layman here or not?"!
The Layman said, "He died of starvation while fasting."
Tan-hsia said, "Well, is old man P'ang here or not?"
The Layman said, "Oh my god! Oh my god!" and he went into his house.
Tan-hsia said, "Oh my god! Oh my god!" and left.
