- The sutra
- Once, when Yakusan was reciting a sutra, a monk asked him: "You don't usually allow us to recite sutras. Why do you yourself recite a sutra?"
- "I just want to entertain my eyes," replied Yakusan.
- The monk asked, "Can I also recite sutras like you?"
- "If you want to recite sutras like me," answered Yakusan, "you must pierce even through the hide of a cow."
- On another occasion, Yakusan was asked by governor Ri, "What are the precepts, meditation and wisdom?"
- Yakusan answered, "This poor monk hasn't such useless furniture."
- Ri said, "Don't be so mysterious!"
- Yakusan said, "If you want to have what I have, you must sit on the highest mountain, go down to the bottom of the deepest sea.
- You don't throw off your burdens even when you go to bed; you are busy with illusions."
- Question 1
- Our Beloved Master, a visitor here observed that there is an agelessness in the people around you. What is the explanation for this?
