I am Here
October 27th 2007 17:27
Yuyan was brewing tea when his fellow disciple DaoWu walked in...
DaoWu: "Who are you brewing tea for?"
YuYan: "Someone wants to drink it."
DaoWu: "Cant the person who wants to drink it brew the tea for himself?"
YuYan: "Well, i happen to be here."
One who understands does not discriminate between host and guest (a Zen analogy for self and other). He is I and I am he. One can make a distinction between who is host and who is guest and yet also reverse the order. At any time, they can also be one.
