Are You Here? | A Short Zen Story
A visiting monk was taking leave of master Ch’ang Kuan of Wu-feng.
The master said to him, “When you travel around, don’t slander me by saying that I am here.” The monk said, “I won’t say you’re here.”
The master asked, “Where would you say I am?” The visiting monk held up one finger (to symbolically express the Zen intuition of oneness). “Ah,” said the master, “you have already slandered me.”
