Zen master Mayu Baoche was using a fan.
_
A monk asked, “The nature of the wind is eternal and there is no place where it doesn’t reach. So why does the master use a fan?”
_
Baoche said, “You know that the nature of wind is eternal, but you don’t know that there’s no place it doesn’t reach.”
_
The monk said, “What is the principle of ‘there is no place it doesn’t reach’?”
_
Baoche fanned himself.
_
The monk bowed.
_
Mayu said, “Useless teachers and monks! There are a thousand of them. What are they good for?”
_
_
What do you use when it's too hot?
