- The sutra
- Hogen became a priest at the age of seven, studying Buddhism and Confucianism. One day, some years later, when Hogen was on the way to the lake, it began to rain and he took shelter in Jizo's temple.
- Jizo, who was sitting by the fireplace, asked Hogen, "Where are you going?"
- Hogen replied, "Just wandering from master to master in search of enlightenment."
- "What does that mean?" asked Jizo.
- "I don't know," said Hogen.
- "Don't know is the most intimate," said Jizo.
- The two sat together by the fire, talking of a treatise on Buddhism, and when they got to a sentence that read, "heaven and I are of the same root," Jizo asked, "Are mountains and rivers and the great earth different from me or the same?"
- Shinzan, who was with them, replied, "The same."
- Jizo held up two fingers, and, looking at them earnestly, said there were two, and then went out. It had now stopped raining, and Jizo accompanied Hogen and Shinzan to the gate. On the way, in the garden there was a stone, and pointing to it, Jizo asked a question: "It is said that in the three worlds, all is mind. Is this stone in the mind or outside it?"
- Hogen answered, "Inside it."
- Jizo said, "You people on a pilgrimage, why do you think that the stone is in your mind?"
- Hogen was at a loss and could find no answer, so he undid his bundle and asked Jizo to help him resolve the problem.
- After a month, Hogen explained his view of philosophy, but Jizo said, "Buddhism is not philosophy."
- Hogen then said, "I have now got to the point of avoiding all words and giving up all philosophy."
- Jizo said, "If you now explain Buddhism, everything is accomplished."
- At this, Hogen was profoundly enlightened.
- Question 1
- Is it true that there is no right or wrong answer, only an appropriate or inappropriate response?
