A Bee
Shinchan was a Chinese zen master, whose teacher was a lecturer of sutra. When Chinchan was traveling, he met Backjang and got enlightened. Now, he came back to his teacher and was washing his teacher's body at the request of his teacher. He said, touching his teacher's back, "The buddha is not holy in an excellent sanctuary." Then, his teacher turned and looked back at him. He said again, "Even if not holy, it can shed light." Furthermore, when his teacher read a sutra and a bee was trying to get out of a window, he sang,
" Not going out through the open,
you are foolish to hit the screen paper of the window, instead.
Even if touching old paper for one hundred years,
when can you get out ? "
His teacher said, stopping reading the sutra, "Did you meet any one during the travel ?" Chichan said, "I learned from Backjang and want to repay you the favor." After performing purification, his teacher asked Shinchan to preach Dharma. He rose to a seat and sang,
"The spiritual light shines alone, so it got far out of (subjective) roots and
(objective) dusts.
The (Dharma) body exposed its true shape, so it is not restricted by letters.
The true nature cannot have defect, and it is originally entire and perfect by
itself.
Just leave the false fate, then it is the very, very Buddha. "
Thereupon, his teacher got enlightened.
