Master Pokéda entered the gates of the imperial palace uninvited and was immediately stopped by the guards.
The emperor was informed about what had happened, and he wished to speak with a famous spiritual teacher. The Emperor asked:
- What did you want, master?
- Nothing. I just needed somewhere to spend the night, in some tavern.
“But you entered my domain without permission, and this is not a tavern, this is my palace.”
- Really? Who owned it before you?
- My father. He died a long time ago.
- And before him?
- My grandfather, he also died.
- So, people live in this place for some time and then leave it... Why did you say that this is not a tavern?
