synopsis
Reader of the sutras: Sw Ananda Teertha.
The sutra
Gensha complained to his followers one day: 'Other masters are always carrying on about the necessity of saving everyone -- but suppose you meet up with someone who is deaf, dumb and blind: he couldn't see your gestures, hear your preaching, or, for that matter, ask questions. Unable to save him, you'd prove yourself a worthless Buddhist.'
Troubled by these words, one of Gensha's disciples went to consult the Master Ummon who, like Gensha, was a disciple of Seppo.
'Bow please,' said Ummon.
The monk, though taken by surprise, obeyed the master's command -- then straightened up in expectation of having his query answered.
But instead of an answer, he got a staff thrust at him. He leapt back.
'Well,' said ummon, 'you're not blind. Now approach.'
The monk did as he was bidden. 'Good,' said ummon, 'you're not deaf either. Well, understand?'
'Understand what sir?' said the monk.
'Ah, you're not dumb either,' said ummon.
On hearing these words the monk awoke as from a deep sleep.
