This Week’s Koan
Gateless Gate #36: “Goso’s No Words, No Silence”
Goso said,
“When you meet a Man of the Way on the road, greet him not with words, nor with silence. Tell me, how will you greet him?”
Mumon’s Comments:
If you can answer Goso exactly, it will be extremely heartening. If you cannot answer properly yet, then you must do your best to watch out everything.
Meeting the man of the Way on the road, Greeting him not with words, nor with silence. Give him an uppercut, Then he will understand you at once.
