About this listen

The second in a weekly series of ancient koans retold.

In T'ang dynasty China, the master Joshu lived to 121 years old. Where other teachers shouted or struck their students, he preferred conversation.

A student saw his opening and pressed him. What followed became one of the most studied exchanges in Zen.
