Master Majo’s ‘Hurry up’ (2)

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

Student: “What did Majo mean by ‘Have a look at the water’?”

Master: “He provided him with a raft to cross the river.”

Commentary:

Hurry up, or the raft will sink.
