The scholar said, "I am reading the Yuima Sutra."
Joshu said, "The Yuima Sutra says, 'Step by step is the site of the Way.' You, where are you?"
The scholar had no answer. Joshu ordered Zeneki to answer instead of the scholar.
Zeneki said, "One can perceive the site of the Way in this one question, can't one?"
Joshu said, "Your body is in the site of the Way, but your mind, where is it? Say it quickly!"
Zeneki said, "Master, you are searching for my mind, aren't you?"
Joshu said, "That's right."
Zeneki said, "This question and answer-just what do you think they are?"
Joshu said, "I am not where the mind is. It is in transcending the eye, ear, nose, tongue, body, and mind that reality can be perceived."
Zeneki said, "If it is not in the mind, why is it, Master, that you are looking for it there?"
Joshu said, "It is because you cannot say it."
Zeneki said, "Even if you go beyond the eye, ear, nose, tongue, body,-and mind, reality cannot be grasped. Why is it that I cannot say it?"
Joshu said, "Because you eat what I spit."
when you will, you're on your own
