Theme: Adopting positions at random: Instant Zen (Foyan) #26: Show the Truth
An ancient said, "There is no drum sound in a bell, and no bell sound in a drum." How can students today manage to reach this state? Sometimes when I give personal interviews, you make a statement, and then when I press you further you merely insist you have already replied, and there could be nothing else. Quite clearly, if you work in this way you have not got a grip on the matter at all.
Idiots! Haven't you read the saying of ancient sages, "Show the truth in every word, refer to the source in every statement." You do not yet understand; you just adopt positions at random. Don't be like this any more when you come for interviews. While it can be said you do not understand, you can be straightened out.
Poem: Do you choose your words at random,
or do you carefully seek, those that rhyme,
those that sound well, those you pick
What’s the truth in a poem?
What’s the source of all poetry?
The sound of a bell in a bell
The sound of a drum in a drum
That’s all the truth and source
that there is to be found.
