synopsis
Reader of the sutras: Sw Ananda Teertha.
The sutra
Sekkyo said to one of his monks:
Can you get hold of emptiness?
I'll try, said the monk,
And he cupped his hands in the air.
That's not very good, said Sekkyo,
You haven't got anything there.
Well, master, said the monk,
Please show me a better way.
There upon, Sekkyo seized the monk's nose
And gave it a great yank.
Ouch! Yelled the monk. You hurt me!
That's the way to get hold of emptiness,
Said Sekkyo.
