Dongshan teaches true Zen meditation

From the Record of Tung-shan, elder of Caodong.

A monk asked, "What is the proper questioning and answering?"

"When it doesn't come from the mouth," replied Dongshan.

"If someone were to question you, would you answer or not?" asked the monk.

"I've never been questioned," replied the Master.

.

ewk book note index - It's the same old question... who practices this? Or maybe I should ask, who studies Dongshan? There is a debate about morality and respect that flares up in this forum occasionally. Invariably people who don't respect Dongshan bring it up.
