- Reader of the sutras: Sw Ananda Teertha.
- The sutra
- Sekkyo said to one of his monks:
- Can you get hold of emptiness?
- I'll try, said the monk,
- And he cupped his hands in the air.
- That's not very good, said Sekkyo,
- You haven't got anything there.
- Well, master, said the monk,
- Please show me a better way.
- There upon, Sekkyo seized the monk's nose
- And gave it a great yank.
- Ouch! Yelled the monk. You hurt me!
- That's the way to get hold of emptiness,
- Said Sekkyo.
