The Master and the Nun & Tea + Salt (Double feature)

A nun asked, "What is the deeply secret mind?"

The master squeezed her hand.

The nun said, "Do you still have that in you?"1

The master said, "It is you who have it."

1 ^{are you still attached to that?}

^{Sayings of master Joshu (green} #319)

R.S.M. Ooh well isn't the master being awfully kind. The Nun dropped her glasses and Joshu picked them up right away and handed them back to her.

​

The monk asked, "What is a 'person amidst the dusts'?" ^{(a person who lives in the world})

"Give me some money for tea and salt please." ^{(When monks begged for money, it was called: getting money for tea and salt})

^{Joshu #325}

Give it up! Yall monks need some tea & salt? If you have coin I've got the goods...
