- The sutra
- Sansho, a disciple of Rinzai, once said to Seppo, "The golden carp is out of the net! Tell me, what will it feed on?"
- Seppo said, "When you have got out of the net, I will tell you."
- Sansho said, "The renowned teacher of fifteen hundred monks cannot find even one word to say about this topic."
- Seppo said, "I am the chief abbot and have much to attend to."
- On another occasion, some time later, Sansho said to a monk, "Where have you just come from?"
- The monk said, "Kwatz!"
- Sansho said, "Kwatz!"
- The monk again said, "Kwatz!"
- Sansho said, "Kwatz!"
- The monk said, "If you strike me blindly, I shall say 'kwatz!'"
- Sansho picked up his staff, and the monk put himself in readiness to receive a hit. Sansho said, "When you go down a slope, there's no pleasure unless you run down it," at which he struck the monk.
- The monk said, "You robber!" and went off.
- Another monk present at the scene asked, "The monk just now -- how can he enter?"
- Sansho commented, "That chap had been to see the former teacher."
- Question 1
- Our Beloved Master, do we really have to come back from the let-go? Last night, especially, it felt as if you could have talked us into enlightenment!
