A poor blind traveler stopped at a Zen monastery. He was received by the master, with whom dialogue like this:
"sad and difficult is the existence of those who live without the light to guide him along the way and that allows him to enjoy the beauty of the world"
"True enlightenment is not given nor from the sun or a lamp, "said the teacher. "In your mind there is already a light, I am sure, soon rischiarerà the path that will lead you to wake up."
Heartened by these words and made confident the traveler walked away, without asking to any direction.
time after his body was found in the brook in the garden of the monastery.
