Listen "Wu-Tsu’s Who is that Other?"
Episode Synopsis
THE CASE
Wu-Tsu said, “Sakyamuni and Maitreya are servants of another. Tell me, who is that other?”
WU-MEN’S COMMENT
If you can see this other and distinguish him or her clearly, then it is like encountering your father at the crossroads. You will not need to ask somebody whether or not you’re right.
WU-MEN’S VERSE
Don’t draw another’s bow;
Don’t ride another’s horse;
Don’t discuss another’s faults;
Don’t explore another’s affairs.
