Earthworm Puzzle

In the early days at Linchuan Monastery, the monks were working to build the Jade Buddha Hall. One day while digging the ground, an earthworm was found chopped in two, each half wriggling by itself.
The Master asked,
"Which end has the Buddha nature?"
All was silent.

 

蚯蚓的佛性

早期,
灵泉寺扩建时,有次出坡,
看到一条被截成两段的蚯蚓,
各自蠕动,
和尚突然问大众:
佛性在那端?
大众默然。
