Case 44:
Bashõ Osho said to his disciples, "If you have a staff, I will give you a staff.
If you have no staff, I will take it from you."
Mumon's Comment:
It helps me wade across a river when the bridge is down. It accompanies me to the village on a moonless night.
If you call it a staff, you will enter hell like an arrow.
Mumon's Verse:
The depths and shallows of the world
Are all in its grasp.
It supports the heaven and sustains the earth.
Everywhere, it enhances the doctrine.
