One of Nansen's most famous disciples was Lu
Hsuan, who later became known as Rikuko Taifu,
the provincial governor of the Hsuan district. After
residing in his mountain retreat for thirty years
without once venturing out, Nansen finally agreed
to the governor's request to come down and teach
Zen to the people on the plains. From that time, he
became very well known.

The governor once asked Nansen about the
saying that all things came from the same source,
so there can be no right or wrong. Nansen pointed
to a patch of peonies in the garden and said,
"Governor, when people of the present day see
these blossoms, it is as if they see them in a
dream."

The governor has made a very important
statement. If there is only one source of
everything, then there can be no right, no wrong,
no good, no bad, no God, no Devil. And this is
exactly the case; all our rights and wrongs are
judgments of the mind which knows nothing of the
source.

Our conceptions are moralistic, they are not
religious. They are not based on the experience of
the original source, from where everything arises
and finally disappears also in the same source,
just like waves arising in the ocean and falling back
into the ocean.

But to live this insight in your life needs
tremendous courage; it needs a non-judging mind.
And we have been brought up with every single
thing being judged: this is right, that is wrong...
