According to legend, there was a young monk who followed Master to beg alms. Along the way, the young monk felt that Master was right everywhere and every sentence made sense. He admired him, deeply admired him. When they reached a small river, they saw a girl trying to cross it and tried to explore it. The old monk asked her, girl, have you ever thought of crossing the river? I carried you there, and then I carried the girl across the river.

The young monk was dumbfounded. He thought it inappropriate for the old monk to do so, but he was afraid to ask. So I muttered for miles, but I still didn't dare to ask. When he walked twenty miles, he still didn't know how to say it. After three miles, he couldn't help it and said, "Master, I can't figure it out. How can an enlightened monk carry a woman across the river? " The master smiled and said, "Look, I carried her across the river and immediately put her down. You have carried thirty miles more land than me, and you still can't let it go. " . "
