Birdy: Zen/Chan Version

When Great Master Mazu was walking with Baizhang, he saw wild ducks flying by.

The Great Master said, "What is that?"

Baizhang said, "It is a wild duck."

The Great Master said, "Where did it go?"

Baizhang said, "It has flown away."

The Great Master twisted Baizhang's nose tip.

Baizhang cried out in pain.

The Great Master said, "How did it ever fly away?"

So tell me, where did your mind go?

Zen is kind of birdy, isn't it?
