# What did we talk about?

Disagree.  Not about ignorance.

Possible wordings:

1.  Bodhidharma came from the West to show reverence
2.  In that Bodhidharma came, you should show reverence
3.  ? Bodhidharma was able to come from the West because he was reverent
4.  If you are asking me about Bodhidharma, then you should bow

Showing reverence often takes the form of aggression toward the Zen Master.

Beef: Mazu's kick is or is not a rebuke of Shuilao being ignorant.
