- The sutra
- Yakusan had not given a discourse for some time when, one day, the head monk came and said, "The congregation of monks are thinking about your preaching a sermon."
- Yakusan said, "Ring the bell!"
- The superior banged away at the bell, but when all the monks gathered, Yakusan went back to his room. The head monk followed him and said, "The master was going to give a talk, and the monks are all ready; why didn't you say anything to them?"
- Yakusan said, "There are sutra priests for the sutras, shastra priests for the shastras; why do you question my goings-on?"
- Question 1
- Our beloved master, I have heard you say that if we lose consciousness -- through fear -- at the point of death we re-enter the circle of birth and death.
- Is witnessing all we can do at this crucial moment or is there any specific technique?
