The Story Teller's Way To Zen
One
day
Encho
encountered
Yamaoka
Tesshu,
a
layman
who
was
almost
near
to
becoming
a
Zen
master.
"
Yamaoka
said
" I
understand
that
you
are
the
best
story
teller
in
outland
and
is
capable
of
taking
control
of
the
listeners'
emotions
with
your
narration.
Tell
me
my
favourite
story
of
the
'Peach
Boy'
that
my
mother
told
me
when
I
was
a
little
tot
lying
beside
her.
Tell
it
to
me
the
way
my
mother
did."
Encho did not find the guts to attempt the story telling. He hence requested some time to study. After several months he approached Yamaoka and requested permission to narrate the story.
"Some other day," answered Yamaoka.
Encho was highly disappointed. He still studied further and tried again, only to the rejection of Yamaoka who stopped him saying "You are not yet like my mother."
It took five years for Encho to tell the story to Yamaoka as his mother did. This way Yamaoka imparted Zen to Encho.
