One man came to Bokuju and asked:
-Did you really follow your Teacher?
“Yes, I followed him,” Bokuju replied.
But everyone knew that Bokuju did not follow his Teacher at all. So the man asked incredulously:
- Do you want to deceive me? Everyone knows that you did not follow your Master, and yet you claim that you followed him. What do you mean?
Bokuju replied:
“I followed my Teacher because my Teacher never followed anyone, not even his Teacher.” I learned this from him!
