As a young monk, he was one of the disciples of the Sixth Patriarch Hui-neng. After Hui-neng passed away, Shih-tou continued his pilgrimage... He paid a vist to the Great master Hsing-szu at the Ching-yuan mountain. Hsing-szu asked: -Where did you come from? Shih-tou replied: -From Tsao-chi [referring where Hui-neng resided]. -What did you get at Tsao-chi? -Before I was at Tsao-chi, I was not lacking anything. -If so, why were you there? -If I were not there, how could I know I did not lack anything?
