One day, Sekiso, one of his cheif disciple, asked: "When you pass away Master, how should I answer if people come and ask me about the deepest secrets of reality"
The master, Dogo, called to his boy attendant, who answered: "Yes, master."
Dogo ordered him to fill the pitcher with clean water, and remaind silent for a little while.
He then asked Sesiko: "What did you ask me about just now?"
Sesiko naturally repeated the question. But the master apparently paid no attention to his disciple and left the room.
Picked this up from Selected Writing of D. T. Suzuki on Zen Buddhism, not sure about historical accuracy. If irrelavant I will take it down
I want to know what people think about this. Is this evasion? Or something different?
