- The sutra*
- Joshu, also known as Chao-Chou, was born in 778. When he first met Nansen, Joshu entered the master's room in the monastery. Nansen was lying down, and his first question to Joshu was: "Where have you come from?"
- "From the Jui-hsiang temple," replied Joshu.* ("Jui-hsiang" means holy image).
- "Do you still see the holy image?" Nansen asked.
- "No, I don't," replied Joshu, "I only see the tathagata lying down."
- At this, Nansen got up, saying, "Are you a monk who has a master or one without a master?"
- "With a master," replied Joshu.
- "Who is your master?" Nansen asked.
- "Early spring is cold," said Joshu. "I am so glad that you are well."
- Nansen called the senior monk and said, "Give him special treatment."
- Question 1
- Beloved Osho, does where we have come from have some significance in relation to where we are going?

- * First answer of Joshu is incomplete on CD-ROM at the beginning of the discourse: " "ang temple," replied Joshu. "
