The monk Daowu once asked, “Who has attained the essential principle of the teacher of Caoxi?”
_
Master Shitou said, “The one who understands the teachings of Buddhism.”
_
Daowu asked, “Then have you attained it?”
_
The master said, “I haven't attained it.”
_
Daowu asked, “Why not?”
_
The master said, “Because I don't understand Buddhism.”
_
_
Do you think Shitou was lying?
_
Or do you believe that Shitiou 'attained' 'not attainment'?
_
That he 'understood' 'not understanding'?
_
The cults here want to do anything to twists the words of Zen Masters:
_
'Left' secretly means "Right' and and 'Down' secretly means 'Up', right?
_
Sounds exhausting. Have some tea.
