The sutra
Once a disciple of Ma tzu, called Ikan, was asked by a monk, "Has the dog the buddha-nature or not?"
Ikan replied yes, and the monk then asked, "Have you got it or not?"
Ikan responded, "I have not."
Then the monk asked, "All existent creatures have the buddha-nature; how is it that you haven't?"
Ikan said, "I don't belong to all existent creatures."
The monk commented, "You say you don't belong to all existent creatures. This 'you' -- is it a buddha or not?"
Ikan said, "It is not a buddha."
The monk then inquired, "What sort of thing, in the last resort, is this 'you'?"
Ikan replied, "It is not a thing."
The monk continued, "Can it be perceived or thought of?" -- at which Ikan concluded, "Thought cannot attain to it; it cannot be fathomed. For this reason, it is said to be a mystery."


Question 1
Apparently the "Akashic Daily Chronicle" newspaper ran an interview with Gautama. As a result, Krishna and Christ are packing their bags for their second coming -- destination, Poona. Gautama told them that living with you was really something, and so they want to check out the scene for themselves.
Any comment?
