A monk asked, "What is a person who understands matters perfectly?"
The master said, "Obviously it is great practice."
The monk said, "It is not yet clear to me; do you practice or not?"
The master said, "I wear clothes and eat food."
The monk said, "Wearing clothes and eating food are ordinary things. It's still not clear to me; do you practice or not?"
The master said, "You tell me, what am I doing every day?"
Sayings of zen master Joshu (green) #181
R.S.M.: Clever bastard! Joshu hasn't done a thing until you have spoken about it!
So you think you already understand matters clearly? Please, tell me more about it!
How does one accomplish everything while not moving a muscle? Obviously it's great practice! ;)
