Master Majo’s ‘Hurry up’ (1)

When a monk asked Master Majo, “What is nirvana?” Majo said, “Hurry up!” The monk asked, “What should I hurry up.” Majo answered, “Take a look at the water.”

Student: “Why did Majo say ‘Hurry up’?”

Master: “Because you lost time.”

Commentary:

Try to hurry up and you will be late.
