A monk asked, "It is said that true teaching has no form. But when there is no master and no pupil, how is it then?"
_
JoshiI said, "Who made you come and ask this question?"
_
The monk said, "No one in particular."
_
At that, Joshu hit him.
_
_
Why couldn't the monk own his own words?
_
He is used to being told what to do by another.
_
That, even when another is not there, he still made up a 'no-one' to blame for his question.
_
This is the same as the "no gate."
_
Understand?
