Lunch

Once in China, there was a great lecturer of Diamond Sutra, Ducksan, who went to the south to teach right Buddhism, because he learned in a Sutra that it takes numberless lives of polishing for a man to become a Buddha, but monks in the south taught that by pointing to one's mind directly, they can make you become a Buddha. When he got in a restaurant for lunch, an old lady looked at him for a while and asked, "What is it you are carrying on the back ?" He answered, "It is Treatise of Diamond Sutra." She said, "Ah, is that right ? The book reads that you cannot get past mind, present mind and future mind. If you have lunch, on which mind will you have it ?" If you answer correctly, I will serve your lunch." He was stricken and come out of there without having lunch. As instructed by her, he looked up master Yongdam and stayed together in his room until midnight, so it was dark outside when Ducksan was coming out of the room. When Yongdam lighted a candle and would give it to him, Ducksan was trying to receive it. That moment, Yongdam blew the light out and Ducksan became fully enlightened.
