I DO NOT HIDE ANYTHING FROM YOU
One day Huang Sanku, a Confucian scholar asked Hui-tang Tsu-hsin (1025-1100), a Chinese Ch'an master:
-What is the Great meaning of Budhha dharmas?
Hui-tang replied:
-Confucius once said:"I do not hide anything from you." Zen does not hide anything from you, either.
Do you understand what this means?
Sanku said:
-No. I do not.
Therefore, Hui-tang said:
-Follow me to the back side of this mountain...
When they were at the place where some osmanthus flowers were blooming and the fragrance was very sweet.
Hui-tang asked:
-Do you smell the sweet osmanthus?
-Yes, I do.
-See, I do not hide anything from you, either.
