- The sutra
- On one occasion, two Zen monks came from a rival community and, arriving at Isan's monastery, commented: "There is not a man here who can understand Zen."
- Later, when all the monks were out gathering firewood, Kyozan saw them both resting. He picked up a piece of firewood and said to the two: "Can you talk about it?"
- Both were speechless, at which Kyozan commented: "Do not say that there is no one here who can understand Zen."
- When Kyozan got back to the monastery, he said to Isan, "Today, I exposed two Zen monks."
- "How?" Isan asked, and Kyozan told him of the exchange.
- Isan commented: "I have now exposed you as well."
- Question 1
- Our Beloved Master, does the time that you are away from us have a significance of its own in your work with us?
- Question 2
- Our Beloved Master, the story of buddha mechanically brushing away the fly is puzzling. Was it still possible for him to do something without being conscious, sometimes mechanical? I thought once one was enlightened, one could not help but be conscious in all that one did, twenty-four hours a day.
