The official Sai asked, "Can even a great master go to hell?"
Joshu said, "I lead the way."
Sai said, "But why should an excellent master, of all people, go to hell?"
Joshu said, "If I don't go, how can I meet you there?"
Joshu went to the toilet. From there he called the monk Bunon. When Bunon answered the call, Joshu said, "Don't expect me to talk Buddhism with you in the toilet."
These two aren't quite as comparable as I would like, I think. But doesn't it still sound like being on the toilet is taken more seriously than being in hell?
That's saying something.
