Joshu's love of milk.

A monk said, "I will not ask about the various Buddhist doctrines. But what is the meaning of 'Our founder came from the west'?"

_

Joshu said, "The cow has given birth. Take good care of it."

_

The monk said, "What is the meaning of this?"

_

Joshu said, "I myself don't know."

_


_

What does "I myself don't know" mean?

_

Should you take good care of the calf or not?
