- The sutra
- Once, to Kyozan, Isan commented: "All the Buddhas in the samadhi enter into a speck of dust and turn the great wheel of the law."
- Kyozan said to him, "How about you?"
- Isan responded, "There is someone; making him an example, we can get it from him."
- Kyozan pointed to a water-bottle and said, "Please get in it."
- Isan's response was: "All the Buddhas by their occult powers are at present in the mouth of the bottle, turning the great wheel of the law. Can you see them doing it?"
- Kyozan then said, "This is the turning of all the Buddhas. How will you turn it?"
- Isan observed, "It cannot be done if we are separated from the thing itself" -- at which Kyozan made his bows.
- Question 1
- Our beloved master, these days when you say the word 'witness', it has the same impact that the words 'love' or 'relationship' once had. I listen as if it is actually food to nourish something vital inside.
- Is that the art of the master -- to arouse appetites one never knew one had?
