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,
靈泉寺擴建時,有次出坡,
看到一條被截成兩段的蚯蚓,
各自蠕動,
和尚突然問大眾:
佛性在那端?
大眾默然。
