THIS WEEK’S KOAN: Book of Serenity Case10: The Old Woman of Mount Tai
On the road to Mount Tai there was an old woman.
Whenever a student asked, “Which is the road to Mount Tai?”, the old woman answered, “Go straight ahead.”
As the student set off, she said, “A fine student, but he just follows along like this.”
A student told Zhaozhou about this, and he said, “Hold on, I’ll go and investigate.“
Zhaozhou went and asked the same question.
The next day he went into the teaching hall and said, “I checked out that old woman for you.”
