This is the location where Zen master
Baizhang Huaihai (Hyakujo,J.) pulled a
dead wild fox out from the rock grotto.
He then proceeded to give it a monk's
cremation ceremony. Afterwards, he
took all the attending monks down to
the main hall and told them the whole
story, related in Chan literature as the
story of Baizhang's Fox.
