[quote:Anonymous Coward 1130777:MV8yMzQ1NTQwXzQwMDUwMzQ4XzI0MjczOUY5] A soldier named Nobushige came to the famous Zen master Hakuin, and asked: "Is there really such a thing as heaven and a hell?" "Who are you?" inquired Hakuin. "I am a samurai," the warrior replied. "You, a soldier!" exclaimed Hakuin. "What kind of ruler would have you as his guard? Your face looks like that of a beggar." Nobushige became so angry that he began to draw his sword, but Hakuin continued: "So you have a sword! Your weapon is probably much too dull to cut off my head." As Nobushige drew his sword Hakuin remarked: "Here open the gates of hell!" At these words the samurai, perceiving the master's discipline, sheathed his sword and bowed. "Here open the gates of heaven," said Hakuin. [/quote]
