The True Path

Just before Ninakawa passed away the Zen master visited him. "Shall I lead you on?" the master asked.

Ninakawa replied: "I came here alone and I go alone. What help could you be to me?"

The master answered: "If you think you really come and go, that is your delusion. Let me show you the path on which there is no coming and no going."

With his words, the master had revealed the path so clearly that Ninakawa smiled and passed away.
