- The sutra
- Yakusan once asked his disciple, Ungan, "I heard that you know how to deal with the lions -- is that true?"
- Ungan replied, "Yes, it is."
- Yakusan asked, "How many of them do you get and deal with?"
- "Six," Ungan replied.
- Yakusan then said, "I also know how to deal with the lion."
- Ungan asked, "How many do you get?"
- Yakusan replied, "Only one."
- Ungan then commented, "One is six; six is one."
- Later on, when Ungan visited Isan, Isan said, "I have heard that when you were with Yakusan, you had a conversation about getting and dealing with lions. Is that true?"
- "Yes, it is," replied Ungan.
- Isan asked, "Do you continue to deal with them, or do you sometimes stop doing that?"
- Ungan replied, "When I want to, I deal with them; and when I want to stop, I stop."
- "When you stop," asked Isan, "where do the lions go?"
- Ungan replied, "Stopping is stopping."
- Question 1
- Our Beloved Master, one could imagine that, because Christians are anti-life, they would celebrate what their religion teaches is the end of life. But even death -- as well as life -- is taboo, another reason to be miserable. Would you like to comment?
