The sutra
On a certain day, all the monks in Nansen's monastery were involved in preparations for the following day -- which was the anniversary of Ma Tzu's death.
Nansen said to his disciples, "Tomorrow we will offer vegetarian food to master Ma Tzu. Do you think he will come?"
No one answered. But among the group was a young, traveling monk called Tozan. He stepped forward and said, "He will wait for a companion to come."
Nansen commented, "Although this man is young, he is qualified for the training."
Tozan responded, "The venerable sir should not oppress a good man by regarding him as a worthless fellow."
