- The sutras
- The monk, Kankei, once visited the nun, Massan Ryonen. He said to himself, "If what she says hits the spot, I will remain there. If it doesn't I will overturn the Zen seat!"
- He entered the hall, and Massan sent a messenger to ask, "Have you come on a mountain-viewing journey, or for the sake of Buddhism?"
- In response, Kankei said, "For the sake of Buddhism," so Massan sat upon her seat, and Kankei approached her.
- She said, "Where did you come from today, may I ask?"
- Kankei replied, "From Roko."
- Massan then said to Kankei, "Why don't you remove your bamboo hat?"
- Kankei had no reply, and, making his bows, asked, "What is Massan?"
- She answered, "It does not show its peak."
- He asked, "Who is Massan's husband?"
- She answered, "There is not real form of men and women."
- He said, "Kwatz!" and asked, "Why then don't you change and disappear?"
- She said, "I am not a god, I am not a demon. What could I change?"
- At this, Kankei knelt down, and became the gardener of Massan's temple for three years.
- At another time, Goei went to Sekito and said, "If you can say a word, I will remain here; otherwise I will go away."
- Sekito simply sat there, and Goei went off.
- From the back, Sekito called him, "Jari! Jari!"
- Goei turned his head.
- Sekito said, "From birth to death, it is just like this -- turning the head, turning the brain. How about it?"
- Goei was suddenly enlightened, so he broke his staff.
- Question 1
- Recently I realized that expectations violate the freedom, not of the one on whom expectations are being projected, but on me -- the one having the expectations. When I dropped my expectations I felt a burden lifted, a sense of being freed.
