The sutra
The monk in charge of the monastery once said to Yakusan, "I have rung the bell; please, Osho, it is time for the regular discourse."
Yakusan said, "Okay. You come and follow me, holding up my bowl."
The monk didn't understand the master's meaning, and Ungan -- who was also present -- asked, "Master, when did you lose your arms and legs?"
Yakusan said, "You are simply wearing the monk's habit."
Ungan replied, "I am not other than this. What about you, master?"
"I don't have such a family," commented Yakusan.
Once Yakusan called a boy monk to him. Dogo asked, "Why do you call such people?"
Yakusan replied, "Because of this."
Dogo asked, "Why don't you throw it away?"
"Because I have used it for a long time," replied Yakusan.


Question 1
Edited excerpt: 3min 57sec, a part of question 1 **
What is missing in communism?
Question 2
Why do you not want to allow Christianity to enter the Soviet Union?
Question 3
Our Beloved Master, neither communism nor Zen have a God as a central hypothesis on which a belief system is based. Does this imply that Russia might have a greater affinity with Zen than the West has?
