Guest guest Posted May 16, 2006 Report Share Posted May 16, 2006 The emperor, who was a devout Buddhist, invited a great Zen master to the Palace in order to ask him questions about Buddhism. " What is the highest truth of the holy Buddhist doctrine? " the emperor inquired. " Vast emptiness... and not a trace of holiness, " the master replied. " If there is no holiness, " the emperor said, " then who or what are you? " " I do not know, " the master replied. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
