- Sekiso said, "It is being invested with joy."
- The monk then asked, "What is this 'pupils of a skull'?"

- To the question about what the pupils of the skull signified, he answered, "Not quite dry."

- The monk asked whose words they were.
- Sozan said, "I don't know, but whoever hears them will lose his life."
- Sozan composed a verse:
- The dragon in the withered tree
- Really sees the way.
- The eyes of the skull above all
- Become clear.
- Knowledge reaches its limit,
- And there is nothing to say.

- Amidst the impure?
- One day a monk came along, and, not knowing he was speaking to the master, asked Bokushu the way to the master's room.
- Bokushu took off his sandal and hit the monk on the head with it -- and the monk ran off.
- Then Bokushu called to him, "Osho!" and the monk turned his head.
- "That's the way to it," Bokushu said, pointing with his finger.
- Question 1

- Question 2
- Beloved Osho, do you call us "buddhas" -- as Bokushu called the monk in this story "Osho" -- to remind us of the way?
