A certain monk addressed Joshu with these words:
— I just entered the monastery. Give me your instructions.
- Have you already eaten stew today?
“Yes,” answered the monk.
“Then go and wash your cup.”
At that moment the monk became enlightened.
Joshu is one of those who, by opening his mouth, exposes his heart. It is doubtful that the monk heard his instructions correctly and did not mistake the bell for a jug.
