Kuei-shan (771-853)

 

Kuei-shan and Huang-po were both students of Pai-ch'ang who became outstanding teachers. Stephen Mitchell, in The Gospel According to Jesus, relates how Kuei-shan asked his disciple Yang-shan (who was to become an equally great teacher):

 

"In the forty volumes of the Nirvana Sutra, how many words come from the Buddha and how many from demons?"

 

Yang-shan said: "They are all demon words."

 

Kuei-shan said: "From now on, no one will be able to pull the wool over your eyes."

No, No. I believe it does exist. I believe it is the "Mystery" that the Taoists have been talking about for over 2500 years. That's why the "Ha!". Science discovered something that was already assumed to exist for over 2500 years. The scientific method is sometimes a little slow.

 

Happy Trails!
