Wu-Tsu’s Who is that Other?

Andrew Tootell's OzZen Podcast

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.
