Guest guest Posted January 10, 2005 Report Share Posted January 10, 2005 A Zen student asked his Master. Student: Master have you ever really heard Silence or is it just words to make the students understand that there is nothing to understand? The Master: Truly I never " heard " Silence. Student: He tought, I knew it!!! It was all fake after all!!! Damn, no one has ever heard silence!! The student went home, very upset, talked to his enlighten door: " because there is " no one " in the door " and the door was very angry too. They talked a lot and both decided to commit suicide, because enlightenment was a fake. The other students of the group heard about the affair. They went to see the master and told him. The Master replyied: I don't give a damn. He doesn't even exist! You to don't exist master! Yes he replyied. Angry against his behavior the students killed the master. They oppened a anarchical Zen school. One of their rules is to prevent the enlighten doors to commit suicide. The moral: you choose, Can a door ( no soul) can commit suicide? Well I'm not sure yet. I will ask one of my doors! Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
