| Rinzai once went to visit one of Ungan's disciples, Anzan. On that occasion he asked Anzan, "What is the white cow of the dewy ground?" It is one of the Zen koans. It does not mean anything; it simply gives you a puzzle that cannot be solved. Now, asking somebody, "What is the white cow of the dewy ground?" – what kind of metaphysical question is this? No religion will ask such a question... --Osho Rinzai: Master of the Irrational, ch. 5 |
