これは何か。
（少し間を置いて）私は唖です。
何を言うか、実際に口で話しているではないか。
はい私は唖です。
ならば、なぜそのように言う。
拈華微笑 (お言葉の前にすでに答えております。）
合掌
What is this?
"…" I am a mute.
What do you mean? You are speaking!
Yes, I am the mute.
All right, why do you
say that? (or, what is the “The”?)
(What is the mute who speaks?)
(What is the mute who speaks?)
The Buddha’s flower.*
Namaste
*One of the last
lectures by Buddha was to simply raising a flower (Tathagata).
"I am a mute.": Of course, the right answer to all dualistic questions is the silence. In this case, it transcends a little further, and it really means that "I answered already even before you asked because I am the Buddha."
