The Dog’s Nature

The disciple asks Joshu, “Master, does the dog also have Buddha nature?”

“Mu.”*4

Why did Joshu respond “mu” to the monk? He didn’t give him any answer. We don’t know whether or not the dog has Buddha nature, and that’s that.

This koan is one of the most famous ones. It’s like the entrance door to Zen Buddhism. Whoever solves it reaches the state of enlightenment.

The question the monk is formulating is not essential. Having or not having (Buddha nature) isn’t important.
