Holy cow! Sayings of Joshu #451: 451

Once when Joshu was at Master Nansen's place, Nansen entered the meditation hall and went around and around, leading a cow.

The head monk hit the cow's back three times. Nansen immediately stopped. Later Joshu put a bundle of grass in front of the head monk. The head monk was speechless.

My comment:

I was looking for something else as I was reading quotes but this seemed appropriate.

So the head monk is but a cow, being led around and around... what a realization to have, wouldn't you say?
