赵州狗子

有一僧问赵州禅师: 「狗子有佛性吗？ 」

赵州答问: 「无. 」

赵州答「无」, 这是什么意思？

注： 继闻师父说已故日本老禅师参「无」字公案长达四十年。他勉励我们选择一个法门或公案,深入去实修。不要轻易改变或放弃。

Joju's Dog

A monk once asked Joju, " Does a dog have Buddha-nature?"

Joju answered, " Mu!"

Joju said , " Mu! " What does this mean ?

Note: Ven Chi Boon said the late Japanese Roshi Tangen Harada Roshi practiced this "Mu !" kong an for forty years. He encourage us to choose one method or kong-an and keep it. Do not change or give up easily .
