Parable. Heaven and Hell.

Thursday 24 November, 2016

A warrior named Nobusige came to Hakuin, and asked him whether there really heaven and hell?

- Who are you? - Asked Hakuin.

- Samurai - warrior replied.

- It is you - the samurai? - Exclaimed Hakuin. - What kind of ruler could take you to guard? You've got the face of a beggar!

Nobusige so angry that he began to take out his sword.

Hakuin continued:

- And you, and a sword is? Probably so stupid that they do you and I would never log cabins.

When Nobusige unsheathed sword Hakuin remarked:

- So I come off the door of hell.

These words opened the teachings of the master samurai. Hiding his sword, he bowed.

- And opened the doors of heaven, - said Hakuin.
