Abstract

A monk saw a turtle walking in the garden of Ta-sui’s monastery and asked his teacher “ All beings cover their bones with flesh and skin. Why does this being cover its flesh and skin with bones?” Ta-sui, the master, took off one of his sandals and covered the turtle with it. ----- The Iron Flute
