- The sutras
- Once Nansen said to the assembled monks, "The way is not outside things; outside things there is no way."
- Joshu asked, "What is the way which is outside things?"
- Nansen immediately struck him. Joshu caught hold of the stick and said, "From now on, don't strike somebody by mistake!"
- Nansen said, "It's easy to speak of a dragon, but difficult to please me!" and throwing down his stick, he went back to his room.
- At another time, Joshu asked Nansen, "When one realizes that 'there is,' where should he go from there?"
- Nansen replied, "He should go down the hill to become a buffalo in the village below!"
- Joshu thanked Nansen for having led him to his full enlightenment.
- In response, Nansen commented, "Last night, at the third watch, the moon shone through the window."
- Question 1
- Beloved Osho, will we recognize our original face, when we encounter it?
