Shundo David Haye – Zen Priest

One day a monk asked Master Eishu Basho: “It is said that we Buddhists do not fall into the many miscellaneous circumstances. Master! Please teach me the meaning directly.”
Master Basho said: “There is a question and here is an answer.” (Shinji Shobogenzo)

No doubt the monk was hoping for something a little more hi-faluting, but there you are.
