Alas! Alas! Sayings of Joshu 430.

One day Kanzan and Jittoku asked Joshu, "Where have you been?"

Joshu said, "I went to pay homage to the five hundred holy ones."

Kanzan and Jittoku said, "Five hundred cows, aren't they, these holy ones?"

Joshu said, "What turned them into five hundred cows?"

Kanzan said, "Alas! Alas!"

Joshu laughed aloud.
