- The sutras
- A monk came to see master Daizui, and said to him, "Mount Gotai and mount Daizui -- what are they like? How is mount Daizui?"
- Daizui said, "Speak louder -- I'm hard of hearing."
- The monk repeated the question in a loud voice.
- Daizui said: "It is like a thousand mountains, ten thousand mountains!"
- On another occasion a monk said, "One of the ancients stood in the snow and cut off his arm. What truth was he seeking?"
- Daizui replied, "He didn't cut off his arm."
- The monk protested, "He did cut it off! Why do you say that he didn't?"
- Daizui observed, "He was enjoying being in the snow."
- At another time, a monk bowed to the statue of Manjushri, in the presence of Daizui. The master lifted up his mosquito-flapper and said, "Manjushri and Samantabhadra are both contained in this."
- The monk drew a circle, threw it behind him, and then stretched out his arms. Daizui told the attendant to give the monk a cup of tea.
- Question 1
- Beloved Buddha, during the period of your being unwell, many of us decided to meditate at the evening video. It seemed time to discover what we had of meditation that was not dependent on your physical presence. So, in a way, while you were passing through your fire test, we also were being tested. Those few evenings were amazing: a potent silence began to grow -- so intoxicating, it was as if you really were with us.
- The timing of these two events -- was it just a coincidence or did one trigger the other? Was this synchronicity?
