- 4 years ago
Video Information: Acharya Prashant speaking at the 24th Advait Learning Camp, Mukteshwar on 15th September 2016.
Zen Koan:
Joshu went to a hermit’s and asked, “What’s up? What’s up?”(=”Have you any Zen?”)
The hermit lifted up his fist.
Joshu said, “The water is too shallow to anchor here,” and went away. Joshu visited the hermit once again a few days later and said, “What’s up? What’s up?”
The hermit raised his fist again. Then Joshu said, “Well given, well taken, well killed, well saved.”
And he bowed to the hermit.
