The sutra

Yakusan asked a monk, "Where do you come from?"

"From Nansen," was the reply.

"How long were you there?" Yakusan continued.

"From last winter to summer," replied the monk.

"Then you must have become a good ox," commented Yakusan.

The monk said, "The thing is, I was there, but I didn't even go to the dining hall."

"But you cannot get by just through breathing the wind!" Yakusan commented.

"It was not that bad, Osho," said the monk. "There is surely a man who will hold a spoon for me."

On another occasion, Yakusan was returning to his temple with a bundle of firewood when a monk asked him, "Where have you been?"

Yakusan replied, "I've got firewood."

The monk pointed to Yakusan's sword and said, "It makes the sound 'tap-tap'. What in the world is it?"

At this the master unsheathed the sword and assumed a warrior's stance.

Question 1

You have dedicated a book to Gorbachev. Since you are against politicians, is this a contradiction?

Question 2

As a religious leader, you are above human hurts, but do you criticize America and Christianity so much because you feel hurt?

Question 3

You once said in a discourse that Lenin was against marriage and wanted to dissolve the family.

In reality, Lenin always followed Engels in saying that the family is the nucleus.

Question 4

What would you do if you went to the Soviet Union?

Question 5

Our Beloved Master, is not the urge to understand, actually the urge to become one -- both inwardly and with our outer world?
