The World Honored One Points to the Ground (BS4)
KOAN:
As the World Honored One was walking with his students, he pointed to the gourd with his finger and said, “This is a good place to build a temple.”
Indra, Emperor of the gods, took a blade of grass, stuck it in the ground, and said, “The temple is built.”
