- The sutra
- Bansho Gyoshu studied meditation first with master Shomoku. He told Bansho, "Studying this path is like refining gold. When it is impure, the pure gold does not show.
- As I look between your eyebrows, there is very much something there. If you don't pierce through cold bones, once, you won't be able to cast this thing off. Hereafter, see for yourself -- it is not a matter of my speaking much."
- Then Bansho was given the saying of Chosha's to contemplate on: "Turn yourself back into mountains, rivers and earth."
- For six months Bansho met with no success and Shomoku made the comment, "I only hope you will understand later."
- Finally, after a long time, Bansho did suddenly have an insight.
- Question 1
- Our Beloved Master, when you speak so vigorously about the stupidity of politicians and other public figures, I inwardly cheer you on. But simultaneously I am aware that you may provoke hostility and intent to harm you -- from which I want to protect you.
- Is there any answer -- or is this simply a dilemma for your disciples to live with?
