Zen a day - Feb 7

Wednesday 6 February 2008
A monk asked Chokoman: "What is the sword that will cut a hair that is blown into it?"
"You can't touch it," Chokoman said.
The monk asked: "How about the one who uses it?"
"His bontes and body are smashed to smithereens."
The monk replied: "Then it's an awfully good thing not to be able to touch it!"
Chokoman struck the ignorant monk.
