A monk asked Joshu,
"Does the dog have buddha-nature, or not?"
Joshu said,
"It has" [U].
The monk said,
"If it has it, why did it creep into that skin bag?"
Joshu said,
"Because it does so knowingly."
Another monk asked,
"Does the dog have buddha-nature, or not?"
Joshu said,
"It has not" [Mu].
The monk said,
"All living beings have buddha-nature. Why doesn't the dog have any?"
Joshu said,
"Because it is in its karma-consciousness."
