“Gutei's (Chu-chi) favorite answer to any question asked was the raising of his finger. His little apprentice copied this, and whenever he was asked about his master's teachings, he would raise his finger. Learning of this, master called upon the boy one day and cut off his finger. In fear and pain, the boy tried to escape, but the teacher called him to return and raised his finger. The boy tried to imitate his teacher as usual, but he didn't have a finger any more, and then the whole meaning came clear to him. Copying is slavery. One should not follow the letter, but seize the spirit. Higher affirmations lie in the spirit. And where is the spirit? Search for it in everyday experiences; it contains a plethora of proof for all of your needs."
