The sutras

Edited excerpt: 5min 27sec, begining of sutra **

Once, a monk asked Fuketsu, "What is the Buddha?"

Fuketsu replied, "The bamboo whips of mount Jorin."

Another monk then asked, "What is the Buddha?"

Fuketsu answered, "What is not the Buddha?"

A third monk said to Fuketsu, "The Western patriarch came bringing his message; I ask you to tell me it point-blank!"

At this, Fuketsu replied, "When one dog barks at nothing, a thousand monkeys really show their teeth."

On another occasion a monk asked, "What is the meaning of Daruma's coming from the West?"

Fuketsu said, "We know all the windings of the mountain stream, but not the mountain itself."

Question 1

Our Beloved Master, are we born with an innate, inward propulsion towards self-realization?

Alternatively, is the nature of truth such that it attracts that which is of it? Or are there altogether different dynamics at play in regard to enlightenment?
