The sutra
Edited excerpt: 7min 30sec, a part of sutra **
There was a monk who had stayed with Yakusan for three years and served as the head cook. Once, Yakusan asked him, "How long have you been here?"
"Three years," the monk replied.
"I don't know your face at all," said Yakusan.
The monk did not understand what Yakusan meant, and, out of resentment, left the monastery.
Another monk once said to Yakusan, "I have a doubt. Please, master, clear it away."
Yakusan said, "Then come to me at the regular discourse."
That night, seated for discourse, Yakusan addressed the assembly of monks in front of him, saying, "Tonight a monk will clear his doubt away. Where are you? Come up here!"
The monk arose and came forward. No sooner had he reached the master than Yakusan knocked him down and immediately returned to his room.


Question 1
Cannot we disagree with you? Cannot we criticize you?
Question 2
Our Beloved Master, is it because of a refusal to encounter the reality of death that there is a reluctance to meditate?
