A monk asked, "Is there anyone who is requiting the four kindnesses2 in the three worlds1?"
The master said, "There is."
The monk said, "What sort of person is he?"
The master said, "You parent killer! This one question shows you are lacking."
Note:
1 The kindness of the Three Treasures (Buddha, Dharma, Sangha), the kindness of the emperor, the kindness of parents, the kindness of all living things.
2 The world of desire, the world of form, the world of no form
Comments:
The monk is lacking because he cannot see what is right under his nose.
The monk is lacking because he asks about that which he should already know.
I'm curious to here your take on this case, it stuck out to me.
