Joshu said, "Shut up." Let's talk about it.

Sayings of Joshu #46

A monk asked, "The common people cherish riches. What is it that the monk values?"

Joshu said, "Quickly - shut your mouth."

The monk said, "Will that do, if I shut my mouth?"

Joshu said, "If you don't shut your mouth, how can you get at it?"

assin9 commentary: Hmmmm🤔 what Does the monk value? And what a whopper of a question for a monk to ask!!🤯💎⚓ What does the question say about this monk!? He doesn't know what to value. I can relate. His predicament is essentialy this, "Surely something must matter, so what is that thing that matters?" It's an honest question that we all have to answer for ourselves at some point in our lives... isn't it?

So what about r/zenners, hm? What do they value? What is the thing that matters? Really. What does it all come down to? How do you carry this 💎⚓
