Rinzai: "What is the white cow of the dewy ground?"Anzan: "Moo! Moo!"
Rinzan: "You are dumb!"
Anzan: "How about you?"
Rinzai: "You animal!"
In Zen, mind is an animal heritage.
Unless you go beyond the mind, you are not an authentic human being.
Your mind is a very long process of 4 million years of animals.
You are not newcomers. You are old.
As old, as the time life has existed on this earth.
And you have passed through all phases of animals.
Your consciousness carries a tremendous past.
Zen - Master of the irrational and practical, Osho
