Post Summary:
Later on, when the Master (Yin-feng) arrived at (Guishan's), he put his robe and bowl on the head monk's seat. When Guishan heard that his younger Dharma-brother had come, he formally went to the hall to meet him. When the Master saw him, he lay down as if asleep. Guishan's returned to his quarters, and the Master started to leave. A bit later, Guishan asked his attendant, "Is my younger Dharma-brother still here?" The attendant told him, "He is already gone." Guishan asked, "What did he say when he left?" The attendant replied, "He didn't say anything." Guishan said, "Don't say he didn't say anything. His voice was like a thunder."
