Zen

from learning Zen, his friend asked him.
“Where are you from?”
“I’m from Caoxi,” Xiqian replied.
“What did you get?”
“I didn’t get anything. Even when I went there I didn’t lack anything.”
“So, why did you g there?”
“If I didn’t go there how do I suppose to know that I didn’t lack anything?”



Comment: Zen teach us that everyone is enlightened. But, the ability to reach it is sleeping inside us.
