- The sutras
- Once, a monk asked master Nan-yin, "What is your special teaching?"
- Nan-yin replied, "In autumn we reap; in winter we store."
- Another monk asked Nan-yin, "What is the way?"
- Nan-yin answered, "A kite flies across the great sky; nothing remains there."
- On another occasion, Nan-yin ascended the rostrum and said, "Above the mass of red flesh stands one at an immeasurable height."
- A monk then came out from the assembly and said, "Isn't this 'above the mass, and so on,' the master's way?"
- Nan-yin replied, "That's so."
- At that, the monk then overturned the Zen seat.
- Nan-yin said, "Look what a rough, wild fellow you are!"
- The monk didn't know what to say or do and Nan-yin drove him out of the temple.
- Question 1
- Our Beloved Master, do you recommend for your disciples -- as Gurdjieff did for his -- that we identify what our "chief characteristic" is?
