One day Yao-shan Wei-yen (750-834), one of the well-known Chinese Ch'an master, was asked by the host of the monastery to give his sermon to the assembly who for a long while was expecting his teaching. Yao-shan said: "Strike the bell."
CAN WE SHARE?
Some day latter, when there were several learners with the Zen teacher in the Buddha Hall, he looked at the smoke was floating up from the incense burner into the air and asked:
- Can we share the scent of the incense?
There was no answer.
