synopsis
Reader of the sutras/questions: Ma Prem Maneesha.
Question 1
Our Beloved Master,
When Tenjiku was asked about the incident of Tanka burning the statue, he replied, "When it is cold we gather around the hearth by the fire."
"Was he wrong or not?" persisted the monk.
"When it is hot we sit in a bamboo forest in the valley," said Tenjiku.
The day after the burning of the statue, Tanka Tennen went to see Nan-Yo, who had once been a disciple of Eno and was the emperor's Zen master. When Tanka unrolled his Zazen rug, Nan-Yo said, "There's no need."
Tanka took a few steps backward.
Nan-Yo said, "That's right."
At this, Tanka took a few steps forward.
Nan-Yo said, "That's not right."
Tanka walked around Nan-Yo one time and left.
Nan-Yo commented, "The old, golden days are far away, and people are now so lazy. Thirty years from now, it will be difficult to get hold of this fellow."
Question 2
D.T. Suzuki, the man who introduced Zen to the western intelligentsia, said: "Zen must be seized with bare hands, with no gloves on."
Would you like to comment?
Question 3
D.T. Suzuki describes two different kinds of "Seeing" as denoted by two different Chinese characters.
(Questions and sutras quoted from Osho Books on CD-ROM, ver 1.01.)
