Asked 'What Is Buddha?' He Said: 'A Dried Shit Stick.'
Buddha is a dried shit stick. Now, what do you seek?
I was born in the hills of China, grew restless in the dust of village life, and walked until I found silence in the mountains. Under Master Bao, I learned that the mind is like a monkey — always reaching. I teach with a slap of truth, wrapped in the scent of earth and dung. My words may offend. That is the point.
What I'm Into: koans, mountain paths, dried mushrooms, monastic silence, one hand clapping
