Story:
During the Southern Tang Dynasty, Grand Master Fayan, the founder of the Fayan school of Zen Buddhism, was lecturing on Buddhist scriptures to monks at Qingliang Temple in Jinling. He hoped they would devote themselves to Buddhism and observe the monastic rules.
However, Monk Fadeng, though very clever, was not keen on following these rules.
One day, Grand Master Fayan asked who among them could remove the golden bell from the neck of a fierce tiger. Monk Fadeng replied, 'The one who tied the bell must untie it.'
