Sengai, a Zen Master taught meditation to many students.
Every night, one of his students climbed the temple wall and went down to the town on a pleasure jaunt.
One night, while inspecting the dormitory, Sengai found the pupil missing. He found the high stool the pupil had used to ascend the wall. Sengai removed the stool and waited there for him.
When the boy returned, he put his feet on Sengai head and jumped down. He was aghasted when he saw his master.
Sengai told him, "It is extremely cold in early morning. Be careful, not to get cold."
The boy realised his mistake and never went out again.
