- Reader of the sutras/questions: Sw Ananda Teertha.
- A sutra
- One winter day, a masterless samurai came to Eisai's temple and made an appeal: 'I'm poor and sick,' he said, 'and my family is dying of hunger. Please help us, master.'
- Dependent as he was on widows' mites, Eisai's life was very austere, and he had nothing to give.
- He was about to send the samurai off when he remembered the image of Yakushi-buddha in the hall. Going up to it he tore off its halo and gave it to the samurai. 'Sell this,' said Eisai, 'it should tide you over.' The bewildered but desperate samurai took the halo and left.
- 'Master!' cried one of Eisai's disciples, 'that's sacrilege! How could you do such a thing?'
- 'Sacrilege? Bah! I have merely put the buddha's mind, which is full of love and mercy, to use, so to speak. Indeed, if he himself had heard that poor samurai he'd have cut off a limb for him.'
- (Questions and sutras quoted from Osho Books on CD-ROM, ver 1.01.)
