- The sutra
- When he first met Sekito, Ho Koji asked, "Who is he that is independent of all things?"
- Before he could finish his question, Sekito covered Koji's mouth with his hand. At this, Koji underwent an experience and expressed himself in the following verse:
- "Daily, nothing particular,
- Only nodding to myself.
- Nothing to choose, nothing to discard.
- No coming, no going,
- No person in purple.
- Blue mountains without a speck of dust.
- I exercise occult and subtle power,
- Carrying water, shouldering firewood."
- Later, when he came to visit Ma Tzu, Koji again asked, "Who is he that is independent of all things?"
- Ma tzu said, "When you have drunk all the water in the Yangtze river, I will tell you." At this, Koji underwent another great experience and composed a second verse:
- "The ten directions converging,
- Each learning to do nothing,
- This is the hall of Buddha's training;
- Mind is empty, all is finished."
- Question 1
- Beloved master, you spoke the other night of America -- of its being bloodthirsty and destructive. What is the appeal of destruction over creation?
