![]() Something in me changed, people would ask my advice, be attracted to me and i knew the answers to alltheir questions.Īfter a while it faded and here i am on Tao Bums I actually heard the sound of one hand clapping. I was focused on it when a car horn sounded and I knew the answer inside. Many years ago I worked with the koan - What is the sound of one hand clapping? Its not that his girlfriends kid identified him as daddy because of the guys relation to the mom, and he say "oh how sweet" and felt an ego assertment until the day they broke up and he said, "hey this is your kid not mine" and then went on to pursue other pleasures. The ude in the story was accused of impregnating a women, he was called the father of the child by the mother and her parents who were demanding that he take responsibility for his child which he did with out getting laid or enjoying the mothers company, until the day they said " hey thats not your baby its ours", to which he had no sense of possesion or attatchment and said, "if you say so". Not at all like the zen story which is about not assuming roles an non-attatchment. Sounds like you hooked up with a chick with a baby and temporarily assumed a role til you guys broke up and now your pursuing other things. Oh! So you actually got the joke about the wanking and ego orgasm at the end. What do I care? In the moment of sharing it was a joy. and decides to call me "daddy" what am I supposed to say? If a child has no father and no one else like that in their life. Įxcept I had to end with "I told you so". I liked this because I lived a similar experience. Hakuin willingly yielded the child, saying only: "Is that so?" The mother and father of the girl at once went to Hakuin to ask forgiveness, and to get the child back. ![]() She told her parents the truth - the real father of the child was a young man who worked in the fish market. He obtained milk from his neighbors and everything else the child needed.Ī year later the girl could stand it no longer. By this time he had lost his reputation, which did not trouble him, but he took very good care of the child. "Is that so?" was all he would say.Īfter the child was born it was brought to Hakuin. In great anger the parents went to the master. She would not confess who the father was, but after much harassment, she at last named Hakuin. One day, without any warning, her parents discovered she was pregnant. A beautiful Japanese girl whose parents owned a food store lived near the zen master, Hakuin. ![]()
