- The sutra
- Emperor Shukuso asked Chu Kokushi, "What is the ten-bodied herdsman?"
- Kokushi replied, "Go and trample on Vairocana's head!"
- The emperor said, "I cannot follow you."
- Kokushi said, "Don't take the self for the pure dharma body."
- A monk once asked Kokushi, "What is the true body of the dharmakaya Buddha?"
- "Fetch me the water bottle," responded Kokushi.
- When the monk brought it to him, Kokushi said, "Put it back where it was." The monk, having done what he was asked to do, repeated his former question.
- Kokushi said, "Alas! The old buddha has long gone!"
- Question 1
- Our Beloved Master, is the concept of God simply man's inner pathology projected -- and nothing more?
- Question 2
- Our Beloved Master, it appears that, through history, as man has moved into the concept of "god," he has simultaneously become more destructive -- not just towards the "non-believers" but towards his environment, towards himself.
- Is there a connection?
