On his arrival Kao-feng asked why he came to his hermitage to which Shiwu answered "I've come for the Dharma". Kao-feng said "The Dharma isn't so easy to find. You've got to burn your fingers for incense". Shiwu replied "But I see the Master before me with my own eyes. How could the Dharma be hidden?". Kao-feng took him as his pupil and gave him the koan "All things return to one" for study.〔''The Zen Works of Stonehouse: Poems and Talks of a 14th-Century Chinese Hermit'', Red Pine, 1999, p. xi〕 抄文引用元・出典: フリー百科事典『 ウィキペディア（Wikipedia）』 ■ウィキペディアで「Shiwu」の詳細全文を読む スポンサード リンク
