- The sutra
- A monk came from Joshu Osho's assembly to Ukyu, who said to him, "What do you find in Joshu's teaching? Is there anything different from what you find here?"
- The monk said, "Nothing different."
- Ukyu said, "If there is nothing different, why don't you go back there?" and he hit him with his stick.
- The monk said, "If your stick had eyes to see, you would not strike me like that."
- Ukyu said, "Today I have come across a monk," and he gave him three more blows.
- The monk went out. Ukyu called after him and said, "One may receive unfair blows."
- The monk turned back and said, "To my regret, the stick is in your hand."
- Ukyu said, "If you need it, I will let you have it."
- The monk went up to Ukyu, seized his stick, and gave him three blows with it.
- Ukyu said, "Unfair blows! Unfair blows!"
- The monk said, "One may receive them."
- Ukyu said, "I hit this one too casually."
- The monk made bows.
- Ukyu said, "Osho! Is that how you take leave?"
- The monk laughed aloud and went out.
- Ukyu said, "That's it! That's it!"
- Question 1
- Beloved Osho, Zen seems to be of the understanding that the end always justifies the means.
- Would you please comment?
- Question 2
- Beloved Osho, has a disciple only proved himself worthy as a disciple when he has gone beyond discipleship?
