Summary

[edit]
Description

and then after some thought the monk said, "Isn't that just a door." to which after some thought the master replied, "I talked to the rest of the monks, and nobody here really likes you," to which the monk replies, "that has nothing to do with zen!" to which the Master replies, "yeah... well... shut up."

Taken at Tenryu Temple in Arashiyama, which I think I read somewhere is one of the five temples in Kyoto with the most Zen per zen-bearing objects according to the type of people who rank these type of things. I think this means that the monks of the temple are also pretty good motorcycle mechanics.

As I said in another post the garden of Tenryuji is famous for having been maintained unchanged in it's 700~ year history.
