- The sutras
- After a lecture to the monks one morning, Yakusan was approached by a monk, who said, "I have a problem. Will you solve it for me?"
- "I will solve it at the next lecture," Yakusan answered.
- That evening, when all the monks had gathered in the hall, Yakusan called out loudly, "The monk who told me this morning he had a problem, come up here immediately!"
- As soon as the monk stepped forward to stand in front of the audience, the master left his seat and roughly took hold of the monk.
- "Look!" he said. "This fellow has a problem!"
- He then pushed the monk aside and returned to his room without giving the evening lecture.
- When Kyozan was living at Kannon temple, he put up a notice-board on which it said, "No questions while sutras are being read!"
- A monk came to visit the master, and just at that time Kyozan was reading the sutra, so the monk stood beside him until Kyozan had finished reading and rolled up the sutra.
- Kyozan said, "Do you understand?"
- The monk replied, "I was not reading the sutra -- how could I understand it?"
- Kyozan said, "You will understand later."
- The monk afterwards brought the matter up to Gonto, who said, "That old roshi! What I think is that, properly speaking, those old scraps of paper that were buried are still with us."
- Question 1
- Beloved Osho, that poor monk was not lucky enough to be here in Buddha hall, because my experience is that problems seldom show their face when you are around. They just scuttle away, feeling very petty and out of place, and only slowly re-emerge hours later.
