Greeting The Buddha

[Guest guest]

Gasho asked,

" If you meet a Buddha on the road,

don't greet him with words, and

don't greet him with silence, tell me,

right now: how will you greet him? "

 

Of course, the question is a trick

question. Any answer will be wrong.

Neither be attached to words, nor

to silence, nor to thoughts of how

to behave in this, or that case. In each

moment lived in total presence 'your'

true nature appears on the road. That

is the only Buddha, and who else will be

there to speak, or be silent?
