# The Gateless Gate/Amban's Addition

Koan number 49 out of 49 in this work (published 1228, translated 1934)
Amban, a layman Zen student, said: "Mu-mon has just published forty-eight koans and called the book Gateless Gate. He criticizes the old patriarchs’ words and actions. I think he is very mischievous. He is like an old doughnut seller trying to catch a passerby to force his doughnuts down his mouth. The customer can neither swallow nor spit out the doughnuts, and this causes suffering. Mu-mon has annoyed everyone enough, so I think I shall add one more as a bargain. I wonder if he himself can eat this bargain. If he can, and digest it well, it will be fine, but if not, we will have to put it back into the frying pan with his forty-eight also and cook them again. Mu-mon, you eat first, before someone else does:
"Buddha, according to a sutra, once said: 'Stop, stop. Do not speak. The ultimate truth is not even to think.'"
    Amban's comment: Where did that so-called teaching come from? How is it that one could not even think it? Suppose someone spoke about it then what became of it? Buddha himself was a great chatterbox and in this sutra spoke contrarily. Because of this, persons like Mu-mon appear afterwards in China and make useless doughnuts, annoying people. What shall we do after all? I will show you.
    Then Amban put his palms together, folded his hands, and said: "Stop, stop. Do not speak. The ultimate truth is not even to think. And now I will make a little circle on the sutra with my finger and add that five thousand other sutras and Vimalakirti's gateless gate all are here!"
       If anyone tells you fire is light,
       Pay no attention.
       When two thieves meet they need no introduction:
       They recognize each other without question.

# The Gateless Gate/A Buddha before History

Koan number 9 out of 49 in this work (published 1228, translated 1934)
A monk asked Seijo: "I understand that a Buddha who lived before recorded history sat in meditation for ten cycles of existence and could not realize the highest truth, and so could not become fully emancipated. Why was this so?"
Seijo replied: "Your question is self-explanatory."
The monk asked: "Since the Buddha was meditating, why could he not fulfill Buddhahood?"
Seijo said: "He was not a Buddha."
    Mumon’s comment: I will allow his realization, but I will not admit his understanding. When one ignorant attains realization he is a saint. When a saint begins to understand he is ignorant.
       It is better to realize mind than body.
       When mind is realized one need not worry about body.
       When mind and body become one
       The man is free. Then he desires no praising.
# The Gateless Gate/Basho's Staff

Koan number 44 out of 49 in this work (published 1228, translated 1934)
Basho said to his disciple: "When you have a staff, I will give it to you. If you have no staff, I will take it away from you."
    Mumon’s comment: When there is no bridge over the creek the staff will help me. When I return home on a moonless night the staff will accompany me. But if you call this a staff, you will enter hell like an arrow.
       With this staff in my hand
       I can measure the depths and shallows of the world.
       The staff supports the heavens and makes firm the earth.
       Everywhere it goes the true teaching will be spread.
# The Gateless Gate/Bells And Robes

Koan number 16 out of 49 in this work (published 1228, translated 1934)
Ummon asked: "The world is such a wide world, why do you answer a bell and don ceremonial robes?"
    Mumon’s comment: When one studies Zen one need not follow sound or color or form. Even though some have attained insight when hearing a voice or seeing a color or a form, this is a very common way. It is not true Zen. The real Zen student controls sound, color, form, and actualizes the truth in his everyday life.
    Sound comes to the ear, the ear goes to sound. When you blot out sound and sense, what do you understand? While listening with ears one never can understand. To understand intimately one should see sound.
       When you understand, you belong to the family;
       When you do not understand, you are a stranger.
       Those who do not understand belong to the family,
       And when they understand they are strangers.

The Honorable Bob Badham's 70th Birthday
HON. RON PACKARD
OF CALIFORNIA IN THE HOUSE OF REPRESENTATIVES
Wednesday, June 9, 1999
Mr. PACKARD. Mr. Speaker, I would like to pay tribute to a remarkable man who is celebrating his 70th birthday today. The Honorable Bob Badham is a former colleague, a leader, and a friend.
Congressman Badham served 12 years in the U.S. House of Representatives before he retired in 1988. During my freshman term Bob helped me immensely through his advice and friendship. Today, I am honored to serve many of the constituents that live in parts of his former district.
Congressman Badham has an astute mind and was one of the most knowledgeable members the House Armed Services Committee has known. He was a senior member of the North Atlantic Assembly, which is the legislative arm of NATO, during some of the most crucial times since they were formed.
During Mr. Badham's tenure on the Armed Services Committee he was known on both sides of the aisle as an expert on military matters. He spent many hours evaluating weapons and systems for the benefit of his committee colleagues. Bob has been a valuable service to the defense of this great nation.
I would like to congratulate Bob on his 70th birthday. He has served this country with distinction. I wish him and his family all the best for the future.

# The Fairy Tales of the Brothers Grimm (Rackham)/The Straw, the Coal, and the Bean

* related authors: Arthur Rackham.

Once there was a poor old Woman who lived in a village.
The Straw, the Coal, and the Bean
NCE there was a poor old woman who lived in a village; she had collected a bundle of beans, and was going to cook them. So she prepared a fire on her hearth, and to make it burn up quickly she lighted it with a handful of straw. When she threw the beans into the pot, one escaped her unnoticed and slipped on to the floor, where it lay by a straw. Soon after a glowing coal jumped out of the fire and joined the others. Then the Straw began, and said: ‘Little friends, how came ye hither?’
The Coal answered: ‘I have happily escaped the fire; and if I had not done so by force of will, my death would certainly have been a most cruel one; I should have been burnt to a cinder.’
The Bean said: ‘I also have escaped so far with a whole skin; but if the old woman had put me into the pot, I should have been pitilessly boiled down to broth like my comrades.’
‘Would a better fate have befallen me, then?’ asked the Straw; ‘the old woman packed all my brothers into the fire and smoke, sixty of them all done for at once. Fortunately, I slipped through her fingers.’
‘What are we to do now, though?’ asked the Coal.
‘My opinion is,’ said the Bean, ‘that, as we have escaped death, we must all keep together like good comrades; and so that we may run no further risks, we had better quit the country.’
This proposal pleased both the others, and they set out together. Before long they came to a little stream, and, as there was neither path nor bridge, they did not know how to get over. The Straw at last had an idea, and said, ‘I will ​throw myself over and then you can walk across upon me like a bridge.’ So the Straw stretched himself across from one side to the other, and the Coal, which was of a fiery nature, tripped gaily over the newly-built bridge. But when it got to the middle and heard the water rushing below, it was frightened, and remained speechless, not daring to go any further. The Straw beginning to burn, broke in two and fell into the stream; the Coal, falling with it, fizzled out in the water. The Bean, who had cautiously remained on the bank, could not help laughing over the whole business, and, having begun, could not stop, but laughed till she split her sides. Now, all would have been up with her had not, fortunately, a wandering tailor been taking a rest by the stream. As he had a sympathetic heart, he brought out a needle and thread and stitched her up again; but, as he used black thread, all beans have a black seam to this day.
# The Fairy Tales of the Brothers Grimm (Rackham)/The Wolf and the Man

The Wolf and the Man
FOX was one day talking to a Wolf about the strength of man.
‘No animals,’ he said, ‘could withstand man, and they were obliged to use cunning to hold their own against him.’
The Wolf answered, ‘If ever I happened to see a man, I should attack him all the same.’
‘Well, I can help you to that,’ said the Fox. ‘Come to me early to-morrow, and I will show you one!’
The Wolf was early astir, and the Fox took him out to a road in the forest, traversed daily by a Huntsman.
First came an old discharged soldier.
‘Is that a Man?’ asked the Wolf.
‘No,’ answered the Fox. ‘He has been a Man.’
After that, a little boy appeared on his way to school.
“Is that a Man?’
‘No; he is going to be a Man.’
At last the Huntsman made his appearance, his gun on his back, and his hunting-knife at his side. The Fox said to the Wolf,—
‘Look! There comes a Man. You may attack him, but I will make off to my hole!’
The Wolf set on the Man, who said to himself when he saw him, ‘What a pity my gun isn’t loaded with ball,’ and fired a charge of shot in the Wolf’s face. The Wolf made a wry face, but he was not to be so easily frightened, and attacked him again. Then the Huntsman gave him the second charge. The Wolf swallowed the pain, and rushed at the Huntsman; but he drew his bright hunting-knife, and hit out right and left ​with it, so that, streaming with blood, the Wolf ran back to the Fox.
‘Well, brother Wolf,’ said the Fox, ‘and how did you get on with the Man?’
‘Alas!’ said the Wolf. ‘I never thought the strength of man would be what it is. First, he took a stick from his shoulder, and blew into it, and something flew into my face, which tickled frightfully. Then he blew into it again, and it flew into my eyes and nose like lightning and hail. Then he drew a shining rib out of his body, and struck at me with it till I was more dead than alive.’
‘Now, you see,’ said the Fox, ‘what a braggart you are. You throw your hatchet so far that you can’t get it back again.’
# The Germs of War/Chapter 10

10. Defending American Ideals.
A chorus of protest sounds, "This preparedness is to defend American ideals, American homes, and American lives against the invader."
Therefore, we must increase our navy and our army. Therefore, we must spend more billions on war though we were, at the beginning of the European war, spending a larger portion of our national revenue on war than any other great nation. Still we are "defenseless" and "utterly at the mercy of a foreign foe."
If that is true, it might be sensible to ask what has become of the four and a quarter billions that we have spent during the past twenty years on the navy and the army, but that is incidental]. The real question is whether the most threatening enemies of American ideals are in Berlin or in New York.
No one has yet invaded the United States. Those worthy citizens who have looked under their beds for the Kaiser each night during the past eighteen months have not seen him once. The Japanese are thousands of miles from our shores. England and France have not attacked us. Why then this chorus of protest?
Why Lawrence?
Why Paterson?
Why Little Falls?
Why West Virginia?
Why Colorado?
Why Youngstown, and the copper strike, and the clothing strikes, and the machinists strikes?
Why this dissatisfaction? this unrest? this embryo revolution? Can it be that the noisome tenement rookeries; the squalid back alleys; the toiling children; the exploited women; the long hours of high pressure work; and the grinding tyranny of unlimited industrial power, have aroused the American people to revolt?
​Note these biting phrases:
"1. Jobs uncertain; strikes; lay-offs and sickness.
"2. Promotion and advancement uncertain and slow.
"3. Favoritism and partiality are frequently shown.
"4. Pay small and limited while learning a trade.
"5. Same old, monotonous, tiresome grind every day.
"6. Stuffy, gloomy and uninteresting working-place.
"7. When sick, your pay stops and doctor's bill starts.
"8. If disabled or injured, you receive little or no pay.
"9. If you die, your family gets only what you have saved from your small wages.
"10. Little CLEAR MONEY; nearly all you pay goes for your living expenses.
"11. Old age, sickness, little money saved, your job goes to a younger and more active man."
Do you know where they came from? They were printed on a circular issued by Uncle Sam, to explain why young men should join the navy, and work for seventeen dollars a month and board.
American ideals? No. They are not included in that description. That is not a picture of democracy, of opportunity, of liberty, and of justice. It does tell the story of exploitation, and hopeless, intolerable human degradation.
The Kaiser did not do that to us. No, nor did the Mexicans, or the Japanese. Those unspeakable conditions of American life, that may be met with in every great center of industry, commerce and finance, from New York to San Francisco, and from Chicago to New Orleans, are the product of that same system of exploitation that we are now patriotically preparing to defend in its policy of foreign aggression.
# The Germs of War/Chapter 11

11. Swat the Germ!
No thinking man can be patriotic to such a scheme of economic aggrandizement. No rational human being can be expected to rush forward to the defense of the gang that has already picked his pockets.
We are intelligent.
We use our minds.
We are for peace.
We are willing to prepare for peace.
The means of preparedness are as obvious as they are unwelcome to the profit patriots.
We are against war. We think we have found the germ of war. Then swat the germ! Let us here highly resolve that we will devote our energy, our thought, our lives to the work of destroying the germs of war. Joining hands, let us declare that:
1. War makers must go! Henceforth, all munitions shall be made by the government.
2. War profits must go! In case of war from this day forward, every able-bodied man in the United States will be put on the government pay-roll at $17.00 a month, and rent, interest, dividends and profits will cease until the war is ended.
3. Economic Exploitation must go! The land, the resources, the public utilities, the social tools, must all be controlled and managed socially, not for profits, but for service.
These three steps we will take in order to destroy the germs of war. Then having turned our backs on the outworn things of the past, we will begin the work of true preparedness—for life, joy, hope, and the future. In furtherance of this plan to make happy, noble human beings:
​1. We will guarantee to every child the right to be well born.
2. We will guarantee to every child the right to enough food, clothing and education to insure physical, and mental health and growth.
3. We will guarantee to each adult the full produce of his labor.
4. We will provide insurance against sickness, accidents, unemployment, and death.
5. We will give pensions against old age to every man and woman who has done his share of the work of the world.
6. We will take for social purposes all social values, whether in resources, in franchises, or in the product of any human activity.
7. And finally we will seek to guarantee equal opportunity to life, liberty, and the pursuit of happiness through a government that restricts its activities to those necessary to provide for securing the common weal.
