Man in the Weeds
A monk asked Ching Ch'ing "I am breaking out; I ask the Teacher to break in."
Ching Ch'ing said, "Can you live or not?"
The monk said, "If I weren't alive, I'd be laughed at by people."
Ching Ch'ing said, "You too are a man in the weeds."
commentary: The mother hen breaks in and the chick breaks out.
