Daikan Eno, patriarch of Master Kosen 's zen buddhism lineage

Daikan Eno

The thirty-third patriarch, [China's Sixth Patriarch,] was Zen Master Ta-chien [Hui-neng]. He worked in the rice-hulling shed at Huangmei. Once, Zen Master Ta-man [Hung-jen] entered the shed and asked, "Is the rice white yet?" The master answered, "It's white, but it hasn't been sifted yet." Ta-man struck the mortar three times with his staff. The master shook the sifting basket three times and entered the Patriarch's room.

Strange is really the way which drives to the Cold Mount We see no beaten track, no trace of hoof. The valleys meander to lost of sight, The summits sparkle of dew and the pines mutter under the wind Did you not understand yet? Reality asks the way to the shadow.
