- The sutras
- When Koko, a disciple of Joshu, went to see master Hogen, he was asked where he had been recently.
- "With Joshu," he answered.
- Hogen asked, "I have heard about Joshu and the oak tree; isn't this so?"
- Koko said, "It is not so!"
- Hogen commented, "But everyone says that when a monk asked about the meaning of Daruma's coming from the West, Joshu answered, 'the oak tree in the front garden.' How can you say it was not so?"
- Koko replied, "My master said nothing of the kind! Please do not insult the late master."
- Hogen commented, "Truly you are a lion's cub!"
- On another occasion, a man said to Koko, "All my life I have killed cows and enjoyed it; is this sin or not?"
- "It is not," said Koko.
- "Why not?" the man asked.
- "One killed, one given back," was Koko's answer.
- Question 1
- Beloved Zorba the Buddha, you referred to the mahabodhi sabha Buddhists as bigoted and prejudiced. They have also, in essence, dictated to Gautama and to you how you both should behave. Are bigotry, prejudice and dictatorial attitudes all part of the same syndrome?
