Raw or cooked? Joshu

From The Recorded Sayings of Zen Master Joshu Trans. James Green

 

The master asked the cook, "For today's meal, will it be raw vegetables or cooked vegetables?"

The cook held up a vegetable leaf.

The master said, "Those who know kindness are few; those who abuse kindness are many."1

1. Joshu is saying, "Though what you say is all right, why do you have to make an issue of it?"

 


wrrdgrrl: Perfectly seasoned. I thought this was a nice moment between two chefs. Bon appetit!
