Zen Koans:
72. The Blockhead Lord
Two Zen teachers, Daigu and Gudo, were invited to visit a lord. Upon arriving, Gudo said to the lord: 'You are wise by nature and have an inborn ability to learn Zen.'
'Nonsense,' said Daigu. 'Why do you flatter thi blockhead? He may be a lord, but he doesn't know anything of Zen.'
So, instead of building a temple for Gudo, the lord built it for Daigu and studied Zen with him.
